About this game Read the full description
Ardengrad. University lecture halls, kitchen-table conversations, student rallies.
And then — elections, repression, the country torn apart, and civil war.
Yura is a student at Ardengrad National University, used to keeping his distance. By chance, he ends up joining a political science club, where arguments about the country’s future at first seem like just another part of university life. But politics soon spills beyond the classroom walls. The city fills with fear, violence, and street clashes. Friends find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, and closeness to other people becomes not a comfort, but a risk.
HEROINES — FOUR PATHS, FOUR FATES
In the political science club, Yura meets four young women, each responding in her own way to the collapse of a shared world. They will become his allies, his rivals, his friends… or something more. But in Ardengrad, personal choice cannot be separated from politics, and feelings offer no protection from consequences.
Katya — faith in collective struggle and historical justice.
Anya — caution, intelligence, and distrust of grand slogans.
Nadya — the will to survive in a world that does not forgive weakness.
Masha — torn between duty, faith, family, and her own conscience.
What begins as a story of student life and debates about the country’s future gradually turns into a chronicle of collapse, loss, and decisions after which there is no return to the life that came before.
