About This Game

RUBEZH // Archive 86 is a first-person-free observation horror game set inside a classified Soviet scientific complex in 1986.

Your task is simple: watch the surveillance feeds, learn what each room is supposed to look like, and report anything that changes.

Objects disappear. Furniture moves. Lights malfunction. Strange stains appear. Camera feeds distort. Unidentified figures show up where nobody should be.

Some anomalies are obvious. Others are designed to make you question your memory.

Each shift lasts eight in-game hours. You will monitor multiple sectors through 7–8 surveillance feeds and must keep the number of unresolved anomalies under control. If too many remain active for too long, the shift ends.

Entities are even more dangerous. If an unknown presence remains on a feed for too long, the consequences are immediate.

Report anomalies by selecting the affected camera and one of six categories:

LIGHT // OBJECT // ENVIRONMENT // CAMERA // ENTITY // UNKNOWN

Explore multiple areas of the RUBEZH complex, including administrative offices, research laboratories, containment sectors, underground infrastructure, and restricted areas deeper inside the facility.

The game features a deliberately degraded analog presentation inspired by old surveillance systems, VHS recordings, CRT displays, and Soviet industrial design.

There are no weapons and no exploration outside the surveillance system.

Only observation.

Memory.

And the question of whether that chair was always facing the door.
