About
"Bobok" is a little kinetic visual novel based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's short story of the same name.

1873. St. Petersburg.
Not the most prominent literary man was dubbed in newspapers as a madman. His portrait with two phenomenally symmetrical and lively warts was to blame! Unheard of human stupidity surrounds the writer.
Wishing to divert himself, he enters a funeral where he begins to hear the voices of undead people... Maybe at least they are smarter than living ones?

Unaltered, Unknown Dostoevsky
One of the most atypical and wierdest works of the great Russian writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky (author of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov). Black humor, satire, grotesque, and a cross-section of the author's entire oeuvre fit into a short story where fantastic madness goes hand in hand with documented reality. The game is great for those who want to experience the original text.
Glossary

Reviews
"Приятно хохоча, заколыхался труп генерала." Не те нынче мертвецы пошли.
После прохождения захотелось вайбово подремать на кладбище
Literally the whole of Bobok but as a visual novel. 10/10.

Было забавно. Игра короткая, но приятная — даже не столько игра, сколько интерактивный рассказ.
Well, Guess I disliked this game as much as I dislike Dostoyevsky. Dk what I was thinking.
短小精悍,演出感染力很强
Это игра? Нет. Это увлекательно? Очень.
酷!
寒冷又狂欢化的…拉赫真的很合适
"Бобок" даже игрой назвать трудно. Скорее это экранизация, немое кино озвученное великолепной музыкой Рахманинова. В любом случае игра сделана грамотно и с большим уважением к первоисточнику. Рекомендую.
