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

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.

Bu 2 boyutlu yukarıdan aşağıya anlatım deneyiminde 1930'lar-1950'ler Rus Gulag'ının ürkütücü dünyasına girin. Zamanınız sınırlı, hayatta kalmanız geçici, ancak yolculuğunuz sona ermeden önce, bu zorlu varoluşu paylaşanların seslerini ve hikayelerini keşfedeceksiniz.
This series of stories recounted in this environment is far more eerie than I was expecting. You feel an atmosphere of hopelessness between the music and tonal speaking noises. I can see this as the kernel of a further project.

A strange game that is free but i wish it was longer. Tells a story that history seems to like to forget. When you about something being bad, its hard for you to understand just how bad it was until you here examples of what actually happened.
Игра 'Death in the Gulag' - это мрачная и глубоко погружающая в атмосферу симуляция выживания в советском ГУЛАГе. Тяжёлая атмосфера безысходности, постоянная угроза со стороны надзирателей и других заключённых, голод и болезни - всё это давит на игрока, заставляя принимать сложные моральные решения. Геймплей построен на менеджменте ресурсов, отношениях с окружающими и попытках спланировать побег. Каждый выбор имеет последствия, и даже незначительная ошибка может привести к гибели. Игра не прощает глупостей и требует вдумчивого подхода. Визуальное оформление соответствует общему настроению - серые, унылые пейзажи и угловатые модели персонажей удачно передают ощущение безысходности. Звуковое сопровождение также выполнено на высоком уровне, создавая гнетущую атмосферу. Несмотря на свою мрачность, игра затягивает и заставляет задуматься о ценности жизни и свободе. Это не развлечение на вечер, а скорее тяжелый опыт, который надолго останется в памяти. Рекомендуется тем, кто готов к сложному и бескомпромиссному игровому процессу.
GULAG :O
nice game and stories, i think the vibe is fitting and the message of the game is delivered well. i died 3 times before completing all the dialogues, maybe the death timer should be longer.
