About This Game

Deep in the Siberian taiga lies Velminsk, a secret Soviet research town that never appeared on any map. For decades, scientists conducted experiments here, studying the limits of the human mind, the effects of complete isolation, resistance to extreme cold and phenomena that science could barely explain. Some whispered that the researchers had gone even further, attempting to interfere with time itself.

In the early 1990s, a group of Yugoslav scientists is invited to Velminsk to take part in a classified research project. The expedition travels in two groups, several days apart. The first disappears without a trace. Among the missing is Marina, the woman you love. As a military escort accompanying the second group, you set out to find her, but after a tense encounter at a remote checkpoint, your helicopter crashes near the town. Alone in the wilderness, you must follow the trail of the missing expedition and discover what happened.

Beyond the forests, the world is descending into war. Velminsk remains strangely untouched by the chaos outside, yet something far more disturbing has taken hold within its borders. Abandoned laboratories, forgotten villages and silent military outposts conceal the consequences of experiments that should never have been conducted. Strange figures wander among the trees, clocks stop without reason, and reality itself begins to feel unreliable. Somewhere in this forsaken place lies the truth about Marina, and the choices you make will determine whether you ever find it.
