Gospodar's Tales Free Download

Romanian folk horror about guild, money, and sin.

Told like a fireside tale and experienced as a dark folk story, this game pulls you into a rural Romanian village in the early 2000s, where you experience inspirations drawn from classic Romanian literature and folklore.

The story follows Ion, a simple farmer obsessed with Vasile, the wealthy owner of Hanul Gospodarului.

Consumed by his hunger for money, Ion’s mind begins to fracture, until greed drives him to commit an unforgivable act.
