Hey everyone! If you watched Janosik 2's trailer, you're probably familiar with the scene of Janosik blissfully running towards Janka, only to find out it's a trap and fall into the hands of Countess Bathory... But what led to that dramatic twist? That's where Janosik 2: Prologue comes in.

This time, you take on the role of Janka, Janosik's sweetheart, as she gets read for what was supposed to be a wonderful date with her boyfriend. However, her plans are rudely interrupted by the cunning Baron de Blonde, acting on behalf of the devious Countess Bathory, In this bite-sized adventure you'll guide Janka through 8 challenging levels filled with tricky enemies, enviromental obstacles, and hidden secrets. As you progress through the prologue, Baba Yaga, who runs a magical shop filled with powerful upgrades, will help you learn how to freeze enemies, double jump, dash through the air, or scale walls without breaking a sweat. Each ability not only helps Janka overcome future challenges but also opens up new pathways and secrets in areas you've already explored.
