A Story-Driven Experience Explore a stark, oppressive prison camp where every corner holds a story. Listen as prisoners and guards recount their harrowing experiences, all inspired by true accounts from the Gulags. A Unique Approach to Gameplay With no combat, puzzles, or objectives, the focus is solely on immersing yourself in the narratives of those around you. The game's core is its atmosphere and the hauntingly human stories it brings to life. 2D Top-Down Visuals Navigate beautifully crafted, minimalist environments that reflect the bleakness and isolation of the Gulag.
