About This Game

Welcome to Ardena, a nation on the brink of monumental change. The story unfolds in Ardengrad, the epicenter of political battles and student protests.

You step into the shoes of a detached university student who stumbles into the political science club at Ardengrad National University. A simple accident? Maybe. But this choice will set off a chain of events that will reshape not just his fate—but the fate of an entire nation.

  • Witness the turning points of history as Ardena teeters on the edge.

  • Decide where you stand in a world consumed by dissensions and conflicts.

  • Watch as student debates escalate into revolution, and personal tragedies grow into a national catastrophe.

THE HEROINES – FOUR IDEOLOGIES, FOUR DESTINIES

The political science club gathers young women—each embodying a different worldview. They will be your allies, your adversaries… or something more.

  • Katya – A fiery communarist, believing in the power of the people and radical change.

  • Anya – A careful observer, hesitant to make rash decisions, always weighing every step.

  • Nadya – A hardened national syndicalist, ready to fight in a world where survival is not guaranteed.

  • Masha – A sincere monarchist, torn between tradition, duty, and her own path in the chaos of revolution.

Who will you stand with? Who will walk this path with you?

FROM BOWL OF SOMETHING HOT TO CIVIL WAR

  • Student life → Discussions, clubs, relationships.

  • Political struggle → Protests, elections, government crackdowns.

  • Civil war → Clashes, ideological divisions, and brutal choices.

You can’t simply walk away—the revolution will pull you in.

  • Will you become a leader or be swallowed by chaos?

  • Will you find clarity in the madness or lose yourself entirely?

  • Will you survive the storm or perish in the flames of war?

Every decision brings you closer to one of many endings—each with its own cost.

CORE FEATURES

  • A living world with an alternative history – Inspired by real-world events, Ardena stands on the edge of revolution.

  • Deep ideological conflict – Characters don’t just argue; they think, change, and break.

  • Freedom of choice – Be a revolutionary or a bystander, but every action has consequences.

  • Two narrative arcs – Experience the civil war from the perspectives of anarchists and communarists.

  • Complex relationships – Personal bonds that can either be your strength—or your downfall.

The future of Ardena is in your hands. Will you shape history or be crushed by it?

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game contains visual and textual depictions of sexual content and violence in the context of a civil war.

Romantic and sexual scenes are possible with key characters.
Mutual consent and emotional connection are the core approach to these scenes.

Character deaths – tragic and sudden losses may occur.
Brutality in the streets, during clashes, and in combat – war spares no one.
Some scenes will include torture, arrests, executions, and repression.
Themes of political persecution and ideological pressure – characters face dictatorship, oppression, and censorship.
Depictions of depression – the game portrays how people break under the weight of war.

The game does not aim to shock or exploit heavy themes for personal gain. All difficult moments will be presented in a realistic context to convey the tragedy of the era and the depth of the characters.

If you are sensitive to themes of sexuality, violence, oppression, or emotional pressure, we recommend carefully considering your choices in the game.
