DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS

В ДАННЫЙ МОМЕНТ ИГРА ДОСТУПНА ТОЛЬКО НА РУССКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ! НАД ПЕРЕВОДОМ НА АНГЛИЙСКИЙ НАДО ЕЩЁ НЕМНОГО ПОРАБОТАТЬ. 

RIGHT NOW THE GAME IS AVAILABLE IN RUSSIAN ONLY. THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION NEEDS SOME WORK, SO IT'LL BE RELEASED A BIT LATER!

"Don't talk to strangers" once said your mother. That's a common truth that can't be disputed, everyone knows that. And you're aware of the consequences which may come after not following this rule, of course.

But what if this stranger is a guradian of the order, a person who protects your peace? Will you trust them or will you remember your mother's words? After all, there's no reason to not have a small talk with a nice-looking policewoman!

A SHORT SUMMARY

You are a young journalist, writing articles and getting paid for that. Unfortunately for you, your latest article is rather tricky as you have no clue what to write about (why did you even decide to take this topic in the first place?). Of course, sitting all day in an uncomfortable chair won't save your day, so you decide to take a stroll, hoping to get some inspiration.  

As you were passing by the police department building, you heard someone calling for you.

FEATURES (DAYS 1&2)

• 1.720 lines of script;
• 6 endings;
  
• Unique sprites for every location;
• A secret cutscene you can unlock by finishing  all the endings;
• Interactive surroundings (unfortunately, demo version has only two such locations). Pay attention as it unlocks two endings, blink and you'll miss it!
• Original soundtrack (though we have to admit we used some copyright-free soundtracks and two Comso Sheldrake's songs which will be replaced by the original soundtrack in the next update.);
• Secrets that can be found outside of our game!

NOTES:

• If you're having problems with navigating through endings, you can use the instruction found in the game files. There's nothing shameful in that!
• There are no "nonbinary" or "they/them" option to choose in the beginning. It was due to the fact that the original VN's language is Russian and the English variant is just a translation (our language is heavily gendered, so it's very tricky to incorporate gender neutral pronouns). Yet there are no implications on MC's gender throughout the game whatsoever.  :)

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE UPDATES?

• A lot.
• No, seriosuly, a ton of stuff.
• New characters, each of whom has its own role in the story;
• LORE.
• 20+ endings (this number may vary as the game is still WIP);
• More secrets, including cutscenes, endings and hidden content;
• More interactive surroundings. Your attention to details will matter! 
• More original soundtracks;
• New locations. 

────────────

• In total this game has 6 "days" of in-lore gameplay.  With every big update (it doesn't include sprite or script fixes and adjustments) 2 more days will be added.

Feedback is highly appreciated! And remember — don't talk to strangers and stay safe.

If you spot any errors, please leave a comment! No matter if it's a grammatical (english is not our first language) mistake, a sprite misplacement, or a logical mistake! This demo is a remake of a 2023 demo and may have some flaws we didn't notice. Our goal is to make this game as enjoyable as possible :)
