A popular response to Kolobok: a horror video game was released in Yakutia, and a disaster film about a giant municipal pit was made in Novosibirsk.
Against the backdrop of the failed premiere of the Russian blockbuster about Kolobok, which passes Today, regions outside Moscow are presenting their creativity.
Thus, in Yakutia released a chilling horror game set in a remote, snowy village in the early 2000s.
The protagonist, who lived a life of crime in the city, returns to his homeland. There, he must confront the terrifying secrets of his past—and monsters, of course. According to the developers, the game combines elements of classic survival horror with deep exploration mechanics. For example, to solve one puzzle, players will need to learn the Novgorod alphabet.
All characters speak Yakut (but there are subtitles). The game takes between three and five hours to complete.
The horror game was developed by Novaya Igra+ and the Yakut studio Architecture of Reality. Kindawn: The Parish Remembers is now available on Steam.
There's plenty of horror in Yakutia these days, too. Forest fires, limits on gasoline and gas, hunting frozen mammoths и candidates from the Yabloko party" who want to get into the State Duma. And this is just a list of the news from the last month.
It's probably no coincidence that the horror genre is so popular in these parts: right now, a Yakut programmer with the nickname Monster Attack (Nikolai) is working A horror game about wandering through an empty building. The game is based on an urban legend about an endless labyrinth of empty office spaces, which can be reached by accidentally "falling" out of reality. In this way, the developer combines modernity with ancient Yakut culture, which has always loved scary stories.
But what about Yakutia!
Inhabitant Novosibirsk, where a giant communal pit has been growing for two weeks now, produced A trailer for the disaster film "Hell Hole." Leaking pipes, official lies, panic among residents, protesters detained by riot police, and Novosibirsk crumbling to the sound of Shevchuk's song. Do you think corruption and theft are to blame? Of course not. It's all the work of the tentacles of a monster living underground.
So, are we expecting a grant from the Cinema Fund? (As a reminder, it allocated 250 million rubles for the filming of Kolobok.)
