A dark Slavic mystery adventure game

Uncover the Truth

It's the late 1990s. You follow Marcus as he returns to his hometown for what he hopes will be the last time. He's there because of a mysterious letter he received just days after his uncle's unexpected death. The more Marcus learns about why his uncle was investigating the mining disaster that changed Ashwood forever, the more he begins to question everything — even what his own eyes see.

Discover the city of Ashwood. Once the crown jewel of Karranthia, it has in recent years withered into a place of despair and slow decay. While on the surface it might seem like a traditional Rust Belt city, its dark corners hide many secrets.
