About the Game

Escape the Lab. Survive the Creator.

You wake up alone in a frozen, decaying laboratory buried deep in the Siberian mountains. You are Mia, a young girl raised in isolation as the prototype for The Klon Projekt — a secret Soviet experiment to create a perfect clone. But something went wrong, and now you're the last survivor of a failed program abandoned by the Russian government.

The only other soul left is Dr. Ivan Schultz, your creator, who has gone mad from guilt and isolation. He believes you are the final mistake that must be erased — and he is hunting you through the dark halls of the lab.

Gameplay Features:

  • First-person psychological horror experience taking place in a frozen Soviet lab

  • Stealth-based survival gameplay — hide, evade, and outsmart Ivan to escape

  • Exploration-focused progression — search rooms, unlock doors, and find clues to your past

  • Narrative-rich storytelling told through environmental details, documents, and voice recordings

  • Original soundtrack and immersive sound design to create an intense, cinematic atmosphere

  • Estimated playtime: 1–2 hours, depending on how deeply you explore

Fight to escape your horrifying past — or be consumed by it.
