A slowly unfolding, emotionally resonant narrative journey through a stylized cold war landscape, driven by minimalist interaction and a rich musical score.

What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting, and painterly visuals, but nearly all agree choices feel meaningless and interactivity is minimal. Many call it an interactive movie more than a game. Reviews split on the ending: some find it flat, while others grow to appreciate it.
