About this game

A classic story, staged as a visual novel


Step onto the Yalta promenade and enter Anton Chekhov's The Lady with the Dog as a cinematic reading experience: illustrated scenes, character staging, music, ambience, choices, and voiced character dialogue where available.

The original text remains at the center. The visual novel does not replace the book; it gives the story space, rhythm, silence, and a new way to be read.

A quiet drama of longing and consequence


Dmitry Gurov notices a young woman walking alone with a small white spitz. A casual encounter becomes something neither of them can easily name or escape.
