About the Game

A peaceful morning stroll has turned into the deadliest day of your life. 

Play as a young woman living in a bucolic, peaceful Slavic village who is thrust into an apocalyptic scenario: a doomsday attack on her home. 

Running seems to be the only survivable option.
The dark depths of the nearby woods hide an even darker secret. 

An encounter with a mysterious beast of a man in the woods leaves you in a heart-racing predicament.

Will you find a way to escape him?

Or will you learn how to dig deeper, and earn the man's trust instead? 

Choose a side; Don't look back.

There's more to find, than meets the eye.
