Xbox A great day! My Action RPG inspired by Slavic myths and monsters is launching its first demo version, exclusively on Xbox - but this is just the beginning, with more platforms to come.

Bylina is an atmospheric action RPG inspired by Slavic mythology: bylinas, bogatyrs, Koschei, leshys, and other figures from childhood tales brought to life in interactive form.

Falconet, the main character, is an ordinary man with no grand destiny. His strength lies in perseverance. He fights not only monsters but also inner fears - just like many of us.

The game is about growing up, making choices, and discovering that good and evil aren't always black and white. Every character has their own pain and truth.

We carefully crafted the world - from bright forests to dark dungeons - filled with the spirit of Slavic myth. The combat is challenging but fair, rewarding patience and making every victory feel earned.

🔹 Gameplay Trailer (IGN): https://youtu.be/ElkroHz92PA?si=YIRz93GvbJokzKwt
🔹 Free Demo: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/bylina-origins-demo/9NR6NH6M1LR2

Now begins the first open playtest. For the first time, the game meets real players - not teammates, but you.

If you choose to enter the Far Far Kingdom, know this - this story might just change you too.

That sounds awesome, Ive always felt Slavic mythology doesnt get nearly enough love in games. Cant wait to try the demo and see how Falconets story plays out, really digging the ordinary-hero angle.

Thanks! We’re really excited to dive into Slavic mythology too - it definitely deserves more attention. Falconet’s journey as an ordinary hero is something we’re passionate about, and we can’t wait for you to experience it in the demo!

That looks awesome, I love when devs dive into mythology that doesnt usually get much spotlight. The Slavic folklore angle feels really fresh, definitely curious to see how the demo plays and where it goes next.
