The soviet megastructure suffered "The Fall", now you're left in the broken world of hunger and dangers. Play as Valentine as she scavenges apartments, trades goods with known settlements and fights endless anomalies.
EXPLORING AND ANOMALIES
Exploring the abandoned apartment complex is exhausting and confusing. It is filled with anomalies to the brim. Shadows of former tenants, space funnels ripping your skin and... mimics?
Most important danger of all - your body, bringing you challenges of constant thirst, hunger, panic and other conditions you need to monitor and worry about.
SCAVENGING AND MARAUDING
Grab everything you see to survive, but beware of dangers. Shattered glass, locked drawers, tick infestation, blinding darkness - that's the least you can expect from reaching your hands down the shelves.
You don't have a lot of time between the settlements and some of it is eaten by anomalies. Will you be cautious or quick with your scavenging?
TRADING AND DECEIVING
Trading is vital and will get you missing items, food, tools. It is a trouble trading trash and broken flashlights though. Use your merchant gambits and keen trader eyes to deceive people, spotting their fouls and making the best trade.
Are you ready to trade away your humanity though? Maybe eating canned beans today is better than eating full meal if it means someone will get a proper weapon for defense.
STORY AND CHOICES
Discover what happened in these abandoned floors, discover what you will do now and why even bother surviving this cruel new world. Make your own choices and immerse yourself into the story of a lonely merchant Valentine, struggling but doing her best.
Everyone's busy in this world, surviving the famine and anomalies, they don't have a lot of time to talk, think about what is important to discuss for usefulness or for your sanity.
INTERACTIONS AND INVENTORY
Get full control of your belongings and items. The tactile inventory system shows you all the intricate actions you can do with each little item you see. Everything is manual: lighting up candles, writing down notes, cleaning your knife blade.
Manage your inventory and prepare your goods for trade. Maybe you should erase that expiry date on the canned stew you found to sell it for higher price.
