Interesting game and very original.

The game has been fun, but I keep accidentally clicking "Start" instead of "Continue" and resetting my progress. Maybe this is just me, but when I'm exploring and dying I tend to click "Play" and "Yes" without thinking, and then I have to replay the intro, and I lose my entire map, so I've given up on drawing one.

Психологический хоррор с элементами текстового приключения и point‑and‑click квеста: игрок оказывается в кошмарном сне и пытается из него выбраться. Атмосфера создаётся за счёт текста, звуковых эффектов и редких lo‑fi кат‑сцен. Нужно быстро принимать решения — каждая ошибка может привести к печальным последствиям. Плюсы: атмосфера напряжения без скримеров — страх рождается из воображения игрока благодаря звукам и текстовым описаниям; лаконичность и динамика — необходимость быстро выбирать действия держит в напряжении; необычный формат — минималистичное оформление выделяет игру на фоне традиционных хорроров. Минусы: текстовый формат — подойдёт не всем: любители визуальных хорроров могут остаться разочарованы; высокая сложность — жёсткие последствия ошибок и ограниченное время на выбор усложняют прохождение; возможные баги — технические недочёты могут помешать завершить приключение. Итог: игра понравится поклонникам психологических хорроров и текстовых квестов — она пугает нестандартно, заставляет думать и действовать быстро, задействуя фантазию. Хороший выбор для тех, кто ищет атмосферный опыт без привычных скримеров, но может не подойти любителям динамичного экшена, яркой графики или щадящего геймплея.
I love games that hate me and want me to die and require all the exploration in the world so if that's your vibe then this one is for you!
An environmental piece that leaves a lot to the imagination. If you have something like ADHD this probably isn't the game for you, but if you're willing to stick it out there's a lot to explore here. I might come back to it at some point but it feels very difficult to escape, and knowing there's so many endings can make it intimidating to say the least. But considering it's free? If you're on the fence it's worth a try!
Наконец-то игра про Магнитошахтинскую область
just starting, already like it. play it blind. thumbs up.
this game has crafted such a chilling, uneasy environment with only text and sounds. the ability in which i can immerse myself into this game is insane, its like a sensory deprivation tank of alician dread. every time an actual video cutscene plays i get filled with so much terror at the mere chance to be given the ability to visualize anything in this funky place
This game scratches an itch that I didn't know I had
