It's a golden age for weird Eastern European games—you can tell because I'm in love with a horror puzzler about 2 old men trying to find evil in the woods

A headless body emits a gout of flame from its neck.

We're in a golden age for incredibly weird games from Eastern Europe. There's Indika, the one where you play a nun who chats with Satan. There's Militsioner, the one where you explore a town presided over by a 100-story-tall cop. There's HROT, the FPS about socialist Czechoslovakia. And now there's One-Eyed Likho, a horror/puzzle game about two old men on a quest to figure out what 'evil' is all about.

The old men in question are a village smith and a village tailor, and you play the role of the former. Off into the woods you go on a quest for Likho, one of the approximately 867 different embodiments of evil that Slavic mythology keeps on hand.
