Price history, as announced
The base price has not moved, but the game has been discounted three times in official announcements:
- 26 June 2026 — summer sale, 35% off.
- 18 August 2026 — The Ukraine Games Festival, 57% off.
- 2 October 2026 — a Steam sale announcement, discount price during the event.
If you are patient and the game is on your wishlist, the sale pattern is clear enough: it participates in the big seasonal events rather than running permanent discounts.
Languages, and why the Ukrainian track matters
The store page lists two languages: Ukrainian and English, with the asterisk on Ukrainian marking full audio support. The game is set in a Soviet camp in Siberia, built by a Ukrainian studio from a Ukrainian adventure novel, and the Ukrainian voice track is the version the developers ship as the primary performance.
There is no Simplified Chinese, no Japanese, no Russian interface listed. If you need another language, that is not a store option in the current listing.
What you are buying
Seven and a half dollars buys a semi-open first-person shooter with five locally made weapon types, a weather system that gates movement, an anomaly zone that breaks physics, and a campaign that runs on five achievements tied to named settlements. It does not buy multiplayer, a level editor, or mod support as a listed feature.
The honest framing for a 23-review indie at this price: it is a short, atmospheric, deliberately retro-looking game. The "2000s-style graphics" line in the store description is a selling point the developers chose to put in bold, not an apology.
Before you buy
Read system requirements — the minimum is an integrated GPU, so almost anything from the last few years will run it, but Windows 11 is required. Then read how to play to see whether the loop (walk, talk, fight, survive the night) is what you want, and weapons for what the arsenal actually contains.
