About the Game

A FUTURE THAT NEVER CAME

Based on real events.

Liza was sent to Herota to work on one of the Soviet Far East’s largest mining projects. Herota was supposed to become a paradise for workers and their families. Instead, it became a trap.

Now the village lives through endless shortages, and everyone who had a chance to leave is already gone. Her children are slowly dying, and the nearest hospital capable of helping them lies far beyond Herota.

DECIDE WHO GETS TO EAT

Every delivery is too small.

  • Decide who receives food from the limited supplies arriving in Herota.

  • Take risks, deceive customers, and bend the rules before shortages spiral out of control.

  • Balance the needs of desperate villagers against the survival of your own family.

  • Deal with conflicts, rumors, favors, and the growing tension inside the settlement.

  • Watch your choices slowly reshape life inside Herota.

WHY DO WE LIVE?

Many have given up on the settlement entirely and continue living only out of habit, waiting for nothing to change. But others are trying to build a different life in Herota — one shaped by old traditions, faith, family, and the hope that happiness can still exist even here.

  • For some, Herota is a terrible place they dream of escaping.

  • For others, it is still a City of the Sun where there is room for God, hope, and happiness.

NOTHING STAYS HIDDEN

In Herota, people notice everything.

Rumors spread through the settlement faster than supplies. Every lie, favor, betrayal, or desperate decision slowly changes how people see you and your family. In a place where everyone knows everyone, nothing stays hidden forever.

  • Shape relationships through your actions and reputation.

  • Face the long-term consequences of fear, lies, and desperation.

  • Decide what kind of person survival turns you into.
