How it feels

A slow-paced first-person puzzle game set in a detailed, desolate Soviet town that feels nostalgic and melancholic as you search for items and solve riddles.

What players say

Players consistently praise the nostalgic recreation of 1970s Soviet life but split on the puzzles and length. The game is very short, often completed in under an hour, and some find the slider puzzles and repetitive music frustrating. A cute cat and attention to period detail are frequently mentioned positives.
