How it feels

A collection of text-driven stories where you read choices and decide your path, feeling like a digital choose-your-own-adventure book.

What players say

A free collection of short Russian CYOA-style stories, essentially visual novels. Players split on whether it qualifies as a game, and some find the translation poor. A few call the nonlinear choices underwhelming, and the achievements can fail to unlock.
