Experience the work of a courier in a city of living rumors and legends. Pay off your debt by carrying out strange requests from mystical customers. Uncover the reason behind the appearance of a mysterious fog that smells of decay.
Story
You play as Alan, a delivery courier with a 4.7 rating and two days left to pay off his debt. Today, Almaty is shrouded in a strange fog that smells of death — a fog that, according to rumor, dissolves the boundary between the living and the dead. What should be a routine shift turns into a fight for survival: to clear his debt and earn those precious five stars, Alan must complete special orders while the city is swallowed by something dark and unexplainable. Will you help the courier — or turn this shift into the worst of his life? Meet terrifying characters inspired by Turkic mythology and the legends of the city of Almaty. Don't let them win you over to their side. Almaty has changed, even though it looks the same. A sinister entity has taken hold of it from within. Something otherworldly hides behind its familiar facade. Demolished landmarks have been restored. Shape the course of history with your choices. You'll not only have to make decisions but also demonstrate mastery of your profession. Key Features: Two storylines Four endings Black-and-white pixel art aesthetic Real-world locations and creatures inspired by Kazakh folklore The game won Gold at VN JAM...
