story-driven adventure game

The game’s events unfold in the Russian Empire of the late 19th century, but in an alternate universe. In the summer of 1896, London was raided by Martian invaders; European capitals fell one after another in the fight against alien machines. In early autumn, a rain of cosmic bolides struck Petrograd, and sinister tripods rose over the capital’s horizon…

A young Student, separated from his loved ones, escapes from the alien-occupied capital. Together with the player, he must survive in the unique and dangerous Siberia, confront the forces of the old world, and inevitably face its new masters.

MAIN CHARACTER

The Student

Chases and manhunts await, as well as violent enemies and unexpected allies without whom all would be in vain.

You will use contemporary weapons and even makeshift explosives. Each new challenge will improve the character’s skills, but only in harmony with himself will he find the strength to protect those who are dear.

With the player’s guidance, he will survive and hide from his enemies. Use his fists, sabers, and whatever he can get ahold of to fight back. Solve riddles and make discoveries that will tell you about the world of the game.

This is Russia on the threshold of the 20^th century. The industrial revolution, social transformations, scientific achievements, and cultural development—all froze in a moment, forever, when the fiery Martian rain fell upon the planet.

The prosperity of cities in the western part of the country doomed them to destruction, made them a desired target for the predatory machines and their mysterious masters. In a esperate struggle, European capitals fell one by one, next in line — Petrograd, the imperial capital…

It seems that only in Siberia, far beyond the Urals, does hope for salvation remain, here, far from the centers of technology and culture, at the last stations of the railway.
