The Book of Outcasts (v2026.10.12 & ALL DLC & Uncensored)

A frozen frontier hides old atrocities beneath its snow, and survival depends as much on political instinct as it does on courage. Set a century after the earlier Conussia stories, The Book of Outcasts casts you as a disgraced soldier recruited by the Tsarina’s covert Sparrows and sent to a remote settlement as its new Constable. Your official task is to pursue Carpenter, a rogue mage concealed behind a wooden mask, but an ancient city’s ruins and the immortal sorcerers tied to them soon turn the assignment into something far more personal. The atmosphere is bleak, folkloric, and oppressive, balancing harsh winter landscapes with a mystery steeped in dynastic collapse, magic, and buried history.

Play revolves around investigating the village, travelling through hostile forests and far-flung regions, gathering useful gear, and building relationships with allies who can affect your chances of surviving. Character creation lets you play as either a man or woman, while role-playing choices shape how you approach the people, dangers, and secrets surrounding Kemskaya Volost. Dungeon-crawling elements bring danger beyond the village walls, whereas the management layer makes its security and readiness for winter part of the central pressure. Keeping beds warm, fires supplied, and residents alive gives the narrative a practical edge: solving the larger conspiracy means little if the settlement collapses first.

Its strongest feature is the blend of grim fantasy investigation and community stewardship, rather than a straightforward monster-slaying campaign. Conussia feels deliberately inhospitable, with beautiful but punishing environments reinforcing the isolation of a protagonist haunted by their own past. Mature sexual material, violence, substance use, torture, and adult relationship content are integral to the presentation, so it is firmly aimed at adults comfortable with explicit, dark subject matter. Fans of choice-driven fantasy RPGs, intimate settlement management, and unsettling Slavic-flavoured horror will find a distinctive sequel here, while newcomers can still follow its central hunt even if prior Conussia knowledge adds extra context.
