About the Game

A survival quest set in the cold, poverty, and hopelessness of a Russian provincial town.

Province Simulator is a unique genre blend of quest, point-and-click, RPG, and survival.

In Free Mode, your main goal is simple - don’t die.
Don’t freeze to death. Don’t starve. Don’t collapse from illness. Try to earn at least some money in a town where jobs pay pennies, the bus is stuck again, and almost all your income goes toward food.

Your ultimate goal is to break free and leave in search of a better life.

The game world is fully open and features numerous locations, each with its own activities:
work at a factory, buy beer from a kiosk, warm yourself in a building entrance, shop at the local store, cook dumplings at home while a snowstorm rages outside your window.

The game features a deep weather simulation powered by a custom AI model.
The weather is realistic, harsh, and unpredictable - and it’s something you’ll constantly have to fight against to survive.

Here, the cold is your main enemy.

Monitor your character’s condition: avoid freezing, treat illnesses, sleep, cook food, and try to save money.

In addition to Free Mode, the game includes a Challenge Mode with special conditions, objectives, and modified locations.

Experience the atmosphere of a Russian provincial town - work, survive, and find a way to leave this place behind.
