About the Game

2022. Kharkiv has been bombed from the border. People, seeking protection from bombs and missiles, went down into the subway, which became a real bomb shelter for the townspeople. You are among those who were in the underground at the beginning of the full-scale war. So now you mostly live underground.
They are waiting for you:
- A detailed design of the 23 August metro station in Kharkiv;
- The atmosphere that conveys the state of the townspeople;
- The story of a teacher from Kharkiv;
- Absolutely unique characters;
You will play as a history teacher. Your task is to try to live an ordinary life in the unusual conditions of a metro station. You will prepare for lessons, prepare places of refuge for people, participate in the life of the station, and help ordinary people. You will live 6 days in the underground.
