About This Game

It's the late 1990s. You follow Marcus as he returns to his hometown for what he hopes will be the last time. He's there because of a mysterious letter he received just days after his uncle's unexpected death.

The more Marcus learns about why his uncle was investigating the mining disaster that changed Ashwood forever, the more he begins to question everything — even what his own eyes see. It doesn't help that he's receiving text messages from someone who knows his every move.

The story explores Slavic culture, traditions, and long-forgotten myths.

The game is set in Ashwood, a fictional city. Once the crown jewel of Karranthia, it has in recent years withered into a place of despair and slow decay. While on the surface it might seem like a traditional Rust Belt city, its dark corners hide many secrets.

The story will lead you across unique and atmospheric scenes, all drawn by hand pixel by pixel. You will break into abandoned factory buildings, descend into dark sewers, uncover hidden occult sanctums, and dig through secrets on 90s-era devices.

The puzzles are designed to challenge you and advance the story while still being fun and fair (no pixel hunting or moon logic).

As you explore, you will discover items that will help you solve puzzles and overcome obstacles.

Some items you can take a closer look at, while others you can combine to craft a unique item that will be useful on your journey.
