Alexey's Winter: Night adventure

 

An atmospheric point and click adventure game with a fun story. You can interact with items and talk to different characters.

The graphics are completely hand drawn. The quest takes place on a dark and snowy night somewhere in the Soviet Union.

 

Alexey's Winter: Night adventure is a pencil drawn Point and Click adventure game and contains two episodes.
The story takes us back to the USSR at the end of the eighties and has a typical, recognizable atmosphere.
The protagonist is a young man Alexey, that gets locked out from his apartment on a dark snowy evening.
While the goal of the first episode is finding the lost key and getting home, the game is focussing on the typical daily life, small incidents and the overall atmosphere.

In the beginning Alexey is equipped with nothing but a small searchlight and a package of sausages.

Interact with different characters and items and try to figure out who stole your keys. Explore the neighborhood while trying to get all the stories intertwined.

The story is often non-linear, so the overall experience can be versatile.

In the second episode the story of Alexey continues, but now he has lost something else and new stories emerge.
The pace is relaxing and the game is filled with funny dialogues and unexpected events.

 

The game consists of 3 episodes (episode 3 - September 2021).

While in each episode there is an end goal that needs to be accoumplished, the game is focussing on the typical daily life, small incidents and the overall atmosphere.

The story is often non-linear, so the overall experience can be versatile.
