Far From Motherland
It was an ordinary day in your life as a soviet cosmonaut. You went on a mission, wearing your space tracksuit with three stripes of quality. What could have gone wrong when you were so thoroughly prepared?
Your task was to go to Jupiter base, test the new device, launch the experiment to produce the fuel, and return home right after with your space shuttle. Obviously, following Murphy’s Law – nothing went as planned.
Since I remember everything was an uphill climb for us Slavs. It couldn’t have been any different here. But it made us strong, amrite?
Ready, comrade?
So kiss your babushka goodbye and become a space-traveling Indiana Jones. Roam through an industrial space station with grappling hooks and spatial boosters. See how acrobatics in space, zapping off ledges and walls feel like. Experience the perspective of a space comrade, arcade platforming, and challenging riddles. All soaked in a gritty, full-on Slav, humorous story.
Don’t be afraid as General Varnikov and an onboard computer named AIsha will guide you through your journey.
