About

Black Book is a 2021 indie title that blends card-based RPG mechanics with adventure gameplay in a distinctly atmospheric package. You play as a young sorceress bound to dark forces, uncovering mysteries rooted in Slavic folklore within a haunting, beautifully crafted world. The game's unique fusion of tactical card combat and narrative-driven exploration sets it apart from typical dungeon crawlers.

Black Book is highly accessible from a PC performance standpoint, requiring only entry-level GPU hardware with a benchmark score around 4823 and 4GB of RAM. Most modern integrated graphics and budget discrete GPUs will handle it comfortably at high FPS on standard settings, making it an excellent choice for lower-end gaming builds. This makes Black Book an ideal title for stress-testing older hardware or benchmarking budget GPU performance.

With an 84/100 rating, Black Book delivers a compelling experience for fans of card-based games and atmospheric storytelling. If you enjoy indie titles with strong narrative elements and strategic gameplay, this folklore-inspired adventure is absolutely worth your time.

Performance profile

Released in August 2021, Black Book targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

As a strategy title, Black Book is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Black Book; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.

Storyline

A fusion of card-based RPGs and Adventure games, “Black Book” is a haunting tale of a young sorceress, who gave her life to serve the dark forces. Dive into the cold, yet alluring world of Russian folktales – and uncover the secrets that hide in the darkness. A young girl named Vasilisa, destined to become a witch, decides to throw her fate away and marry her beloved – but that dream is shattered when her betrothed dies under mysterious circumstances. Aching for her lost love, Vasilisa seeks out Black Book – a demonic artifact, said to be powerful enough to grant any wish to the one who uncovers all 7 of its seals. Join Vasilisa in her adventures across Russian countryside, as she solves the woes of common folk by confronting demons and performing exorcisms.
