About This Game

"Тварь/The Creature: Death is not what it seems to be..." is a dark psychological visual novel born from the short story of the same name "Тварь". The story itself was inspired by alchemical concepts and Carl Gustav Jung’s teachings on the human Shadow. The Shadow is that part of the human soul we hide from the eyes of others and fear to acknowledge even to ourselves.

"Тварь/The Creature: Death is not what it seems to be..." is an entirely original project, created by a single person. Every element is part of a unified vision. It is a short journey into the depths of the human soul and consciousness, one that will take less than an hour. Yet the experience will stay with you forever. For there is something within each of us that we would rather leave unnamed. Fears we run from. Pain we refuse to accept. Thoughts and desires we lock away in the darkest corners of our minds, hoping that one day they will stop reminding us of their existence. But what if, one day, everything hidden within our hearts were to come to the surface? Look where you have never dared to look before. Ask what you have never dared to ask.

Death is not what it seems...
