6 itemsAbout the Game
You are a driver during World War II. Every trip saves lives.
In Road of Life, you take on the role of a driver behind the wheel of the legendary “polutorka” truck — a vehicle that became a symbol of hope and survival. Your mission is to deliver vital supplies across Lake Ladoga, the only route connecting the besieged city to the outside world.
Ahead of you lies a frozen expanse, winds, blizzards, and constant wartime threats: artillery fire and air raids. Every journey is a test of endurance, focus, and courage.
To reach your destination, you’ll need more than just driving skills. You must also maintain and repair your vehicle, carefully monitoring the condition of your truck and fixing breakdowns right in time.
The game features rich character interactions. You will encounter people with their own fates, fears, and hopes. Through conversations, you’ll uncover personal stories, make decisions, and influence how game events unfold.
Road of Life offers a high level of historical authenticity. The environment, everyday details, and atmosphere of the era have been carefully recreated to immerse you in the experience. Professional voice actors bring the story to life, while the music enhances the emotional depth of your journey.
With deep respect for history, our team studied numerous archival materials and documents to faithfully and thoughtfully recreate the spirit of that time. We hope Road of Life will provide you with a powerful experience of one of the most difficult, yet profoundly important chapters in history.
