About this game

Enter the haunting world of a 1930s-1950s Russian Gulag in this 2D top-down narrative experience. Your time is limited—your survival is fleeting—but before your journey ends, you'll uncover the voices and stories of those who shared this harsh existence.

  • A Story-Driven Experience
    Explore a stark, oppressive prison camp where every corner holds a story. Listen as prisoners and guards recount their harrowing experiences, all inspired by true accounts from the Gulags.

  • A Unique Approach to Gameplay
    With no combat, puzzles, or objectives, the focus is solely on immersing yourself in the narratives of those around you. The game's core is its atmosphere and the hauntingly human stories it brings to life.

  • 2D Top-Down Visuals
    Navigate beautifully crafted, minimalist environments that reflect the bleakness and isolation of the Gulag.

  • Original Soundtrack
    Featuring a custom score that blends haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes, the music draws you deeper into the emotional weight of the stories.

  • A Somber Reflection
    This is not a game of triumph or escape but an experience of reflection—an opportunity to bear witness to a part of history often overlooked.
