These are domestic guardians for your dwelling or domain. A Domovoi lives under your doorstep and acts as a watchman, smoke alarm etc.
The work never ends for those who live on farms or in small villages, and the wise often seek the aid of the fey folk while pursuing their daily chores. A family might leave a piece of bread under the stove or an old boot in the closet to attract a domovoi to their home. Domovoi help with small tasks like churning butter and mending clothes, but mostly protect the home from intruders. In any case, now that the game was originally released on PC and PlayStation and is now available for Mac OS X and iOS devices — this means most of you really have no excuse this time! The game is split roughly in to a few episodes that each sell for about $0.99 each. The game is bizarrely expansive and worth every cent.
Your Domovoi is a hairy bearded character something like a brownie. He is benevolent and kind — provided that you keep the house clean and do not swear. And always leave a spare snack in the fridge.
Like a slightly disreputable Big Brother, he is always watching you from behind the scenes. Don’t offend him or he could burn your house down. He likes doing things like that.
If you feel you can live without the services of your Domovoi, there is not a lot you can do — apart from getting violent with a broom. His partner in the household irritation business is Kikimora. And it doesn’t stop there — his cousins are everywhere. Bannik is in your bathroom, Dvorovoi does much the same in your back yard and there is also Ovinnik threshing around somewhere. Just hope you don’t have an infestation.
