About This Game

Russia, 2005.

A romanticized view of street life mixed with petty crime still lingers in the courtyards. Prepaid dial-up internet is making its way into homes. At school, just like in the real world, everything is perfectly simple: there are the strong, the quiet, and everyone knows their place.

The Illusion of Safety

You are an ordinary guy from a provincial town in Tatarstan. Neither a leader nor a rebel. You are used to staying on the sidelines and keeping out of other people's conflicts. Your goal is to quietly finish school so that no one bothers you.

But sometimes, it all starts with a minor detail. With a third sleepless night and a heavy, unfamiliar stare in the school hallway.

Point of No Return

At some point, your usual tactics stop working. A single day breaks the order you are used to. Insomnia intensifies everything around you: irritation grows, mistakes pile up, and reality begins to distort. Every decision carries consequences.

Can you remain yourself when forced to prove your strength? And what happens when the fear suddenly fades? This is a story about pressure and choices. About a day after which you can no longer pretend to be just an observer.

Game Features:

  • Non-linear narrative with choices that lead the story into unexpected directions.

  • Psychological tension and the gradual, inevitable escalation of conflict.

  • Thick atmosphere of a harsh school environment and teenage showdowns of the 2000s.

  • Descent into madness: the deep internal monologue of a protagonist whose mind is exhausted by insomnia.

  • Multiple interpretations of events — you will have to decide for yourself what is actually real.
