About this game

In ✦Chapter 0✦ – guess what? This company project is getting a personal spin-off! They were just discussing who to put in it! Whoa! How come Ivan didn't get any notification about something this big?!
What? They're even going to use AI and brain-computer interfaces to spy on the chosen one's memories?!
Then we just have to hold a "pleasant" voting session!

You can vote for anyone – including yourself ❤
In ✦Chapter 1✦, Ivan arrives at his earliest memory – a Khrushchyovka apartment building after the collapse of the Soviet Union, where Ivan, back when he was still called Vanya, also lived.
And the moment Ivan sees Vanya, he just can't help but cling to him!

Ivan can intervene in the past within his memories – could he lead Vanya toward a new life?
But! No matter what kind of interventions or choices you make, they're all just AI-predicted outcomes – they won't affect reality, really ♪

This game uses ✦auto-save✦ throughout, but don't worry about missing story beats and having to start all over!
You can return to the chapter flowchart at any time and preset already-read story choices with one click. Focus on enjoying the story itself.

You're free to explore the map at will. The ✦Part Keys✦ you find during exploration can be used to unlock currently unseen hidden storylines!
The exploration in this game is light and has no mandatory elements.

The game includes a built-in ✦annotation glossary✦ to lower the reading barrier.

A lighthearted and cheerful story tone, just like Ivan's own personality ♪ hopefully!
There are also all sorts of colorful ✦quirky coworkers✦ who discuss social politics, black humor, and adult jokes.

※ This game is positioned as a visual novel. In the current project plan, there are no puzzle-solving, combat, chase scenes, or numerical elements. Please don't have misplaced expectations of this project as a JRPG.


Slavic dude, scrawny courier who swears he's a lab rat. Can't stand smokes or booze.

Little Ivan, back when he was still kicking it in Eastern Europe.
Works logistics, mixes a mean cocktail, can hold her liquor like a champ. Sometimes they drag her to the front desk.

Italian-American, runs info management. Zero Italian stereotypes—dude actually digs pineapple on pizza.

Current head honcho and planning proxy. Emotionally constipated, no real hobbies, nothing he particularly hates.

German surgeon. Zero patience, major attitude, says the most unhinged stuff without blinking.

Corporate code monkey beaten down by the grind. Dream life? Ghost everyone and retire to bumville.
That's what will be available at launch!
The game will be released as an Early Access version. The launch content includes the Prologue and Chapter 1. The complete full version of the main game is: Prologue + Chapters 1, 2, 3 + Epilogue.
The DEMO includes most of the Prologue and the beginning of Chapter 1.
It's highly recommended to try the DEMO before deciding whether to purchase!
