Where an #indiegame can end up👩‍🏫

We kept Dostoevsky’s text in our #indiegame #visualnovel word for word - a rarity these days. So if you’ve played Bobok, you didn’t read a fanfic pretending to be the original. You read #Dostoevsky.

Bobok by Dostoyevsky.
It's a short, satirical story about conversations among the dead. The unusual nature of this work inspired us to create a #visualnovel. You should check out the art!

Our #VisualNovel ’s MC holds a copy of Grazhdanin. It’s not just a prop — it’s a symbol. In the end, he chooses to publish his story in its pages. Historically, Grazhdanin was edited by #Dostoevsky himself, and it’s where he published Bobok. True depth lies in such details.

The whispers in the code grow louder. A new truth takes form. Some mysteries are best left unsolved... for now.
