Morteshka is pleased to announce that with the help of over 3,700 backers they’ve surpassed the $100,000 stretch goal for Black Book and are quickly approaching the $130,000 milestone and the addition of a full Russian voiceover to the game. With less than $9,000 to go the team has pulled back the curtain on the full cast that will bring this rich and ominous world to life.
