About the Game



You play as Artyom, a young man whose life changes in one evening. His mother returns home with a man she calls her father and your grandfather. He disappeared many years ago and has now suddenly returned.

At first, it seems like a miracle, but soon it becomes clear that there is no logic in his words, and his behavior shows more and more alarming signs. At night, you hear his footsteps and strange noises, and during the day, you are forced to endure pressure and the cruel rules of “military discipline.” Your mother is happy about his return and refuses to see the obvious, leaving you alone with your growing horror.



Features:

Cramped location — the entire game takes place in an ordinary apartment, where every square meter of space is oppressive and leaves no room for escape.

Growing madness — at first, the grandfather seems like a strict old man, but with each passing night, his actions become increasingly dangerous and frighteningly unpredictable.

Psychological conflict — the mother refuses to believe in the strangeness and sides with the “grandfather,” leaving the protagonist completely isolated.

Atmosphere of horror — everyday household sounds and simple actions gradually become a source of fear.
