About the Game

General Information


Every autumn Snezhana goes to the woods for mushroom hunting. It has become her personal tradition — a tribute to her departed grandparents. Driven by a love for the woods that they had planted in her, she takes her dog, Ayda, and goes to their secret place. But, seeing that it had been emptied, she drives further, exploring an unknown, mysterious area.

The story takes place in 2007, when Soviet cars had not yet lost their relevance. You will experience together with the heroine the fear and loneliness alone with unfriendly nature.
Only the faithful dog will always keep you company.
Always?
