About This Demo

August 2006. One final shift before retirement. While the protagonist of the full game is yet to arrive, you take on the role of ranger Sergey Ivanovich Kalashnikov.

The plan is simple: a routine patrol in your rugged off-road vehicle, checking camera traps, and filing a final report. Your only companion in this wilderness is your old partner, Mikhalych. You can always chat over the radio about vacation plans, family, or just listen to his stories. But the peaceful evening is shattered by a sudden, chilling radio transmission.

Demo Key Features:

• Experience the Prequel: A standalone chapter set before the events of the main game. See the mystery of the nature reserve through the eyes of a different character before the full story unfolds.

• 2006 Atmosphere: Total immersion in the era and setting. Detailed forest locations, high-quality ambient sound, and a chilling sense of complete isolation from civilization.

• Behind the Wheel: Jump into the cabin of your old 4x4. Turn on the music and navigate familiar forest trails on your very last patrol.

• Stay in Touch: You aren't alone as long as the radio works. Contact Mikhalych at key moments to discuss strange findings or simply listen to your old friend’s grumbling.

• Ranger’s Daily Routine: Duty calls. Check camera traps deep in the woods, monitor the territory via surveillance screens, inspect suspicious items, and file your report on a PC.
