You can watch a full in-depth review of my thoughts on YouTube, or read my summarized review by reading every other sentence.

The premise is simple: your girlfriend, soon to be fiance, was supposed to take a plane to meet you, but she never showed up. In your infinite wisdom, you end up taking a plane to a fictional city in Russia to try and find what happened to her. Afterwards, it's not just puzzles for the sake of puzzles, this plays like it would be a great adventure game like the old LucasArts days, because while you have to do things inconveniently, you're not expected to just click your mouse all day long, there's a rhyme and reason behind everything you do.

For example, you need to make a printing press piece at some point in the game for a guy who you just beat at in dominoes. Typically, you'd go around, clicking on things; here, you have to get a metal pan, find a mould, find a stove, put in the gas, get materials for the pan; i.e. things that are a few steps more complex than I expect from any adventure game, but are still welcome nonetheless.

The music is amazing, the art is generally pretty good. Sometimes, the game uses 3D, and it works generally well. When the game uses motion tweens, then it looks pretty cheap. The writing's clearly suffering from mistranslations, although they're not as bad as they could have been, and the voice acting is sadly, with American accents. For Russians, living in Russia. People in Russia may be bi- a lot of things, but bilingual, they are not. What is a nice touch though, is that most of the Russian text is translated to English when you hover over it, and what isn't is still accurate nonetheless. Artistically, it's colourful, but it nails the decrepit post-Soviet environments perfectly, and I enjoyed it. Same with the plot, it didn't feel needlessly contrived at any point, until...

The story has what I thought would have been a great ending, but then it hits you with the biggest cliche imaginable. I don't know why, either, this game would have been perfect if it didn't do it, and you can probably guess what the ending is just by reading the review. It's like calling a villain "The Evil One", it's that kind of bad. It wasn't even that obvious either, it just came out of left field and honestly, I thought it was going to go the way I was really hoping it would have. Use your imagination instead when you hit that point. The game overall is really short, I played through this game when I got on Big Fish and it took like two and a half hours.

Oh yeah, and this game is in 4:3. I don't know WHY, but it is. The game's fullscreen breaks the illusion if you're on an aspect ratio wider than 16:9, so set your resolution to 1920x1080 or something like that if you're on an ultrawide.
