Frequently asked questions

Setting

Why is the capital named Petrograd instead of Saint Petersburg if the events of the game take place before 1914?

One probably shouldn’t expect historical accuracy from a game partially inspired by a science fiction novel. The game takes place in an alternate history. That’s also why the surname of the ruling dynasty is Romeyev, not Romanov.

What is the game’s genre?

Adventure, action, stealth; a story single-player game with a third-person view.

Is the game related to real historical events?

The plot is based on a piece of fantastic fiction, so any coincidences with real events or people are accidental.

Is the game related to H.G. Wells’s book?

The game’s storyline expands the universe created by H.G. Wells, but doesn’t repeat it. The description of individual events or objects may differ from that in the book in order to improve the plot of the story or the game’s scenario.

Windows PC with full controller support, but consoles are also possible.

Unity Engine as well as our own developments and improvements.

Will there be a demo or a trial version?

Possibly.

Gameplay

Will there be multiplayer modes (competitive or cooperative)?

There are no plans.

How is the game narrated?

Through cutscenes created with motion and facial expressions capture; through character dialogues, collectibles, level design. The storyline is linear and has one ending. The player participates in unraveling the plot, but doesn’t create it.

What will the gameplay be like?

Explore detailed and beautiful locations on hero's path and find resources for survival, sneak past enemies using light and noises to your advantage, and perform stealth takedowns, join bare knuckle fights or use your surroundings for brutal eliminations, and -- if things get too serious -- shoot your way through with many 19th century firearms available throughout the game. Add to that chases and puzzles, barehand duels with especially strong foes and situational QTE challenges.

Visuals

What types of locations are in the game?

A set game zone where there is no open world and fast travel. The player can return to a previous location by save loading.

Will there be customization in the game?

There are no plans to change the appearance of the main character, but it may change according to the storyline.
