A small, psychological story about returning to social interaction. The protagonist is a man who has lived in voluntary isolation from society for a long time, experiencing alienation from others.

Having received an invitation to a small gathering, he gradually becomes involved with old and new acquaintances. Small bits of backstory are revealed through the journey to this meeting, dialogue, and the character's internal reactions.

The gameplay conveys the protagonist's psycho-emotional state: panic attacks, distorted perceptions, and obsessive images appear as part of his past traumatic experience, rather than elements of a classic horror film.

With an overall restrained and tense atmosphere, the story includes brief moments of relief and warmth that arise through interactions with others.

A very polished experience and the art is super nice!

Отличная стилистика, повествование. Немного перекошен звук, особенно SFX, то громче, то тише, но не критично. И порой черный экран секунд на 5-10. Но общий вайб покрывает эти недочеты.

That was a wonderful visual novel with great artwork to boot.
You may want to change the default language to English though, as that's what most people here speak.

Tip for non-Russian speakers: click the middle button in the menu to change the language.

Прикольно, арт на высоте!

За мемы на фоне отдельный респект. Хоть и не фанат новел, но сюжет зацепил. вери кул

Very well written, great job with the sound design, I'm not a fan of VISUAL NOVELS, but I thought this game was cool

art style was cool, did you make the audio yourself? sad that it`s only in russian
vimixauthor22 Apr 2026, 18:06
@lukas-leder
yep, the whole sound design has been made by ourselves. Moreover, we have english version) Just go through the settings))

cool style, but would've wanted "open your eyes" to appear in different places, so you need to find it, cause that would add more "gameplay"

@crimsontrouper
Yea, we already thought about this, but only after we had finished the whole game)

but we r planning to!

Забавно видеть от русских разрабов именно новелу, все россия - страна новел

What a cool style! It's rare to be able to do it so completely within 72 hours

Impressively long VN given the jam constraints, but the engine misses a few features "core" to VNs. Reminds me of the Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Outside a Bag of Milk duology.

Loved the music and story. Had some problems progressing to the next screen which I fixed by clicking on the menu and back to the game. It was also not clear that I’ve reached the ending, maybe just go to credits screen in the end?

Very nice art, cool story and great sound. Great game.

@acid
TY for writing! REALLY restricted deadlines of the game jam caused that strange ending, we had thought about credits, actually!
