About the Game

The experiment is complete. Personnel evacuated. No survivors. Or almost none…



You regain consciousness in a laboratory of a sealed scientific complex. Lights flicker. Somewhere in the darkness — movement. No communication. No visible exit.

Welcome to Project “PAVLOV23.”

WHAT AWAITS YOU

Explore a Soviet research institute where every laboratory is a key and every document is a fragment of a terrifying truth. The corridors grow tighter, the anomalies more real, and the line between experiment and experimenter thinner.

Fight what remains of the personnel.
Save every bullet.
Do not trust what you see.

FEATURES

• Combat system inspired by classic 90s FPS — fast, brutal, hardcore.

• Survival horror with resource management — every shot counts.

• Environmental storytelling — notes, documents, immersive surroundings.

• Soviet Noir visual style — high-contrast graphics with a distinctive look.

• Soundtrack: dark ambient + metal — the tension builds from the first second to the last breath.

• Alternate USSR — Soviet science, hints of occultism, psychological horror.
What happened that day — you will discover. The question is whether you’ll want to know.
