About
A poor freshman leaves hardship behind for a corrupt Russian industrial city, only to find the same rot waiting in a nicer building. Polina came for an economics degree; the city has other plans for her.
Money, ambition, and desire keep tangling in her choices as she navigates unstable relationships and a place built on inequality and hypocrisy. Nothing here stays separate for long, least of all survival and temptation.
Progress unfolds through her decisions and daily grind, story chapters broken up by a Durak card game on the side, now with an Endless Mode if you'd rather not put the cards away. It plays like a visual novel that expects you to actually pick a side now and then, not just click through.
