- Devlog #2 – David vs. Goliaths: How Code Alkonost Turns Slavic Myth into Horror - 17 May 2026
Hello, current and future travelers of the Unseen!Welcome to Devlog #2 for Code Alkonost: Awakening of Evil. In this devlog, we delve deeper into the mythological foundation of our game, not only as a horror experience, but as a broader transmedia world inspired by Slavic mythology, Serbian folk beliefs, Balkan ethnology, pagan memory, and the spiritual imagination of Eastern Europe. Code Alkonost was created by a small indie team from Serbia, with limited resources, but with one strong advantage: cultural identity. We were unable to compete with large studios in terms of budget, team size, or marketing capabilities. But we could compete through atmosphere, research, authenticity, and a mythology that has rarely been explored in games with this level of focus. Instead of making another generic horror game filled only with jump scares, zombies, ghosts, or Hollywood-style demons, we wante…
