A downloadable game for Windows

Step into a narrative-driven RPG where you'll walk the path of a hero climbing the social ladder in a world on the brink of change.

Would you alter the past if given the chance?

Gloomy St. Petersburg, February 1917. The nearly 200-year history of the Russian Empire is drawing to a close. The Romanov dynasty is losing its grip on power.

The aftermath? A civil war, a revolutionary experiment, approximately 4 million killed, and over 10 million dead from hunger, deprivation, and disease.

Could history have taken a different course?

Those seven days in February merely served as a trigger for the tensions that had long been building in society.

  • Could the military have supported the emperor, preventing his abdication?
  • What if someone other than Lenin had become the leading revolutionary?

How significant is the role of an individual in shaping history?

Imagine being born into a noble family in the late 19th century, during the Decadence era of the Russian Empire.

  • How would you have grown up?
  • Who would you have become?
  • Could you have influenced the events unfolding around you?
  • Whose side would you have taken?

I played the demo during Steam Next Fest, and while the game's alternate-history setting is intriguing but sensitive, I’m curious to see where the story goes. I enjoyed exploring different routes and am looking forward to seeing new chapters released soon
