This game is beyond beautiful, both story and graphics wise. Both endings left me in tears of varying emotion. I am so lucky that this is free and I got to play it today. Thank you.
Isso foi uma experiência incrível! Por mais que eu não tenha pegado tanto a história do jogo, os cenários e personagens me cativaram a persuadir até o fim. Eu adoraria um vídeo revelando a história, ou apenas falando sobre a obra prima que esse jogo é! Bom trabalho. 😊😊
ok so idk whats gonna happen since i walked into the rooftop after visiting a few rooms and then like i found lara and then she took me outside but my car wont work anymore so idk if i should like restart the game now lol
just finished playing the game and absolutly love it (don't know how i managed to get the true ending in one go lol) not sure how many endings there are but defintly very fun to play. anyone thinking about trying it out you defintly should.
made an account just to drop a comment lol. i really liked this game and got the happy ending. if anybody could tell me what the true ending is like, that would be nice :>
during my playthrough, i got the notion that Lera killed herself and Nika was guiding her to the afterlife and ensuring she died not in sadness, but in peace. pretty sure that the brain plays your best memories for seven minutes before you die, and the apartment Lera finds herself in could possibly be those best memories. great game
i love this. Its like a form to see the mind of two type of people.
The one who wanna stay in the past. never let him go, no matter what or the consecuenses, the bests moments of the life are in the past and they never come back again. But not all are good memories, Lera knows well
and the other is the who wants to live, live the present, the future, is not going stay in the past, no. Lera in the "Good ending" stay in the past, but not in ´that´past, in a past what she wanted in his childhod. But in the true end she accepts to leave the past and live the present. Leaving Nika. Who is, maybe, she interior child, who wants to live in the past.
the apartament is his mind. Dont let him go and accept die there happy.
Depression in a few words. She tried to kill himself but. A apart of her dont (nika) and the game starts.
idk if its something with the code system on the door or if it was just a waste of time... but when i tried to put a code I had collected into the end door I wasn't able to press any of the buttons it just made an error typa noise :( good game tho!
God I love this game I wish I could see more from this creator but when I go to the page this is the only game its so amazing and I love the message maybe I'm just projecting but Lyra is giving trans woman vibes I love her she should adopt the girl and save her from the apartment complex!!!
i came back and tried again because i wanted a happy ending, the girl/monster does not seem to understand that we are more than the sum of our parts, if a human being gets broken down into parts they do not live on through a transplanted heart, they might through a transplanted brain but if i delete an ai from a pc then make a new ai the old ai is dead and is not going to keep on living, same for a human, if i was to tear up the circuits in your head but leave your body alive then you would die, if i could feed the monster with my body but continue on as a ghost with my ordinary mental state that can interact with the world perfectly fine and be seen and talk to people then i would without an issue as even though my circuitry is ruined my being would still continue, being fed to a lion causes your mortal existence to cease and therefore is called death, you get digested and when the feces are excreted it is mostly the bacteria that grew inside of you and is no longer your flesh
this makes me so sad, i would gladly spend the rest of my life with her and this building, maybe it is because i adore biology and would love nothing more than to give up my life and study it forever, but i think it is because she is lonely and i would like to keep her company, mc is rude btw
did you... read the dialogue?? can you read?? you missed the entire point of the game. how is Lyra rude please tell me. the entire game the girl talks about how nice she is. please play the game and read the dialogue before you comment.
last I checked the entire game the girl talked about how nice lera was. also you go thru the frankly traumatizing events lera did and not freak the fuck out about it. mind you all this happened to her right after a failed suicide attempt. I would freak out and yell too
you would think that a mean person is nice too if all anyone did was hit and try to kill you, and about the last bit i am wired a bit different than normal people so as long as a vampire is nice i would not mind them drinking my blood and similar things, she is kept a prisoner there just as much as me so i would not be angry at her and would not blame her in the slightest
by "wired different" I assume you mean neurodivergent, not sure what that has to do with what I said. I speak from experience when I tell you, you're not gonna be the nicest person in the world to a random child you have never met before right after an attempt on your own life. suicide is the most rock bottom you can get, and its not just that moment its multiple years of your life being terrible to lead up to you wanting to do that. yeah Lera freaked out a bit and yelled at her but she has been having a shit life up to that point and then went thru a confusing scary ass experience that she thought Nika was responsible for.
I'm also kinda projecting onto Lera a bit but she feels very trans woman coded and this story takes place in post communist Russia... when I tell you she had a shit life I mean she had a terrible life filled with bullying, hate crimes, and transphobia.
lera is definitely rude when being realistic about the situation, nice girl saves her life and is worried about her, tries to help, clearly lives in a non hospitable building/area, lera doesn't care about the girl at all and tells her off several times over nothing. several things in this don't make any reasonable sense, but that's a common plot driving sacrifice in amateur media.
she just tryed to kill herself why do you idiots refuse to see grey area between bad and good in not saying her actions are completely excused but Jesus Christ she just tryed to FUCKING KILL HERSELF CUT HER SOME SLACK SHES CLEARLY IN A VULNERABLE STATE AND DIDNT WANT TO BE SAVED
Lera is rude? Lera who canonically wants to work in animal shelter? Lera who was the only person who was nice to Nika at all? Maybe she wasn't very friendly with Nika at first but I'd watch how you'd act in this situation
1000 out of 10. I played this today on my laptop and for such a simple style it's the most complex, emotional, and immersive game I've ever played. Very well done, great storyline. Like other reviews say, very depressing and yet hopeful. I absolutely recommend trying it out, and I'm looking forward to more games by this creator. I probably won't ever forget this game, it's left a print on me that I'm still not sure is depression or happiness.
OKAY SO. I HATE THIS GAME. i don't like this game the way it scare, makes me stare at my screen almost tearing the fuck out. OMFG. I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHH TOT
i did get the happy end but im not sure if there's any other endings. Also i think the system was bugging out (i was playing on chrome) because i had the 6 digit code but it either wasnt letting me enter it or smth else was wrong :(( i would've loved to see what would've come of it also i was wondering if there was a guide ? to all the possible ends?
im sorry im so dumb i have no idea what ur tryna say i shud clear what exactly? the level? im unsure if it was my system bugging out but ill try from another pc and lyk if it works
You have to clear out the letters once you click on the door. You need to press "x" on your keyboard till the letters on top disappear and then you can type the code :>
God i never realised how much a game can make me think about my own situation. Its so .... depressing and hopeful at the same time. Idk how to describe it but it truly was such a beautiful game
alot of the dialogue in this is very hopeful but depressing at the same time. I think the most memorable for me was when Nika mentioned how Lera is afraid of happiness. It just really resonated with me because ive been running away for a while too. Its scary to think how much time i've wasted running away instead of towards something better. A phenomenal game overall, i wish i could play it again the first time.
this is such a gem. I love everything about it. I love the feelings of nostalgia depicted and discussed throughout the story. I love all the references to russian culture, which I'm very fond of. the gore and the eldritch horror. and Nika!! she's so genuine. her character and personality really surprised me in a positive way. sometimes she would say the weirdest things and yet it didn't feel misplaced nor artificial. you really managed to write her in a convincing and cohese way even when she was such an oddball. the way you used AI's natural gift of generating body horror on those VHS movies was very on point too. not to mention the art, it looks soft and charming. this is on par with the greatest horror rpgmaker games out there ❤️

第一次通关时只觉得意犹未尽，但想来这样也不很好吗？明明是一款各方面都只讲的很浅显的游戏，却有种绝妙的感觉，这种体验非常独特。
在此郑重感谢您的创作。

played this yesterday and im still thinking about it, great game.
dude this is super well made.
Is there MacOS version. Would really like to play it)
I never really play games like this but I really enjoyed it. I still cant figure out how to get the bad ending though.
"The only exit from this room is down... to your happiness."
i love this. Its like a form to see the mind of two type of people.

PEAK.

Amazing game! its really interesting and i loved the vibes and concepts :3
put this game on steam please its peak
Made a video about this. It was such a cool game. Amazing story
Am i the only one seeing only a black screen
its peak
idk if its something with the code system on the door or if it was just a waste of time... but when i tried to put a code I had collected into the end door I wasn't able to press any of the buttons it just made an error typa noise :( good game tho!
I had the same problem you have to delete "passcode" first with the escape button
God I love this game I wish I could see more from this creator but when I go to the page this is the only game its so amazing and I love the message maybe I'm just projecting but Lyra is giving trans woman vibes I love her she should adopt the girl and save her from the apartment complex!!!
hey I got a happy end!
hey, thanks so much for this nostalgy vibe of ex ussr place. music is awesome too.
what game engine is it? lovely game, you should publish on consoles if you haven't yet
i came back and tried again because i wanted a happy ending, the girl/monster does not seem to understand that we are more than the sum of our parts, if a human being gets broken down into parts they do not live on through a transplanted heart, they might through a transplanted brain but if i delete an ai from a pc then make a new ai the old ai is dead and is not going to keep on living, same for a human, if i was to tear up the circuits in your head but leave your body alive then you would die, if i could feed the monster with my body but continue on as a ghost with my ordinary mental state that can interact with the world perfectly fine and be seen and talk to people then i would without an issue as even though my circuitry is ruined my being would still continue, being fed to a lion causes your mortal existence to cease and therefore is called death, you get digested and when the feces are excreted it is mostly the bacteria that grew inside of you and is no longer your flesh
One of the best games I have ever played. Its an experience. A beautiful one. I cant put it into words well, just play the game.
this makes me so sad, i would gladly spend the rest of my life with her and this building, maybe it is because i adore biology and would love nothing more than to give up my life and study it forever, but i think it is because she is lonely and i would like to keep her company, mc is rude btw
real
did you... read the dialogue?? can you read?? you missed the entire point of the game. how is Lyra rude please tell me. the entire game the girl talks about how nice she is. please play the game and read the dialogue before you comment.
last i checked yelling at children was rude
last I checked the entire game the girl talked about how nice lera was. also you go thru the frankly traumatizing events lera did and not freak the fuck out about it. mind you all this happened to her right after a failed suicide attempt. I would freak out and yell too

is anyone else stuck look through all the apartments while the girl is gone? I found photographs and everything I just don’t know what to do next lol
There's a code being built on the back of them, the numbers, you'll need it later on
thanks!
It's literal art, the medium of game can provide such a depth.
These type of games are reason I play indie games.
I LOVE IT
wow i dont even know how to describe the amount of awe i have for this. the ending i got was the happy ending and im glad i played this!!
What made you decide to make this free ;^;
1000 out of 10. I played this today on my laptop and for such a simple style it's the most complex, emotional, and immersive game I've ever played. Very well done, great storyline.

how can I trigger the "cooking" and "snowman" CGs? They're clearly there on the game files but I can't seem to figure it out :'0
Play the older version (1.00). It has a beginning different from 1.01, and this is where you see those CGs
OKAY SO. I HATE THIS GAME. i don't like this game the way it scare, makes me stare at my screen almost tearing the fuck out. OMFG. I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHH TOT
I really really enjoyed this game, thank you so much for making it. I'll be thinking about it for a while after this, it was beautiful.
i did get the happy end but im not sure if there's any other endings. Also i think the system was bugging out (i was playing on chrome) because i had the 6 digit code but it either wasnt letting me enter it or smth else was wrong :(( i would've loved to see what would've come of it
also i was wondering if there was a guide ? to all the possible ends?
you have to clear it and then enter the code, hope this helps! :)
im sorry im so dumb i have no idea what ur tryna say
i shud clear what exactly? the level? im unsure if it was my system bugging out but ill try from another pc and lyk if it works
You have to clear out the letters once you click on the door. You need to press "x" on your keyboard till the letters on top disappear and then you can type the code :>
ohhhh thank u sm ill try and lyk if it works :]
God i never realised how much a game can make me think about my own situation. Its so .... depressing and hopeful at the same time. Idk how to describe it but it truly was such a beautiful game
thank you so much for creating this game, love the art style and the message along with it, excited to see what else you create :)
alot of the dialogue in this is very hopeful but depressing at the same time. I think the most memorable for me was when Nika mentioned how Lera is afraid of happiness. It just really resonated with me because ive been running away for a while too. Its scary to think how much time i've wasted running away instead of towards something better. A phenomenal game overall, i wish i could play it again the first time.
True the dialogue feel more personal than anything
good as hell, 10/10
