About The Mooseman
The Mooseman is an atmospheric 2D adventure game set in the mysterious lands of Perm chud’ tribes. The player’s avatar is the Mooseman; a mythological character from perm animal style objects, which we were greatly inspired by. The game is developed by a small team of enthusiasts in Perm city, Russia. We call ourselves the Morteshka team (“Mort” – french for dead + “Matreshka” – famous russian toy). We love all things mysterious, historical and atmospheric, and our games reflect that.
