Description

Late November 1992. A small, isolated town in eastern Poland is struck by a foul calamity that slowly begins to consume everyone and everything it touches. This is the last known whereabouts of your friend Bartek before he stopped answering your calls. Now, you need to follow in his footsteps to uncover what brought him to this town in the first place and why he possibly couldn’t ever get out.

Dive into the first two hours of our 90’s Poland, ooze-covered psychological survival horror.

Explore a Possessed Town

Something is very wrong in the town of Jeziorne-Kolonia. Explore an eerie, isolated 90’s Polish town that has been consumed by something wretched. The streets are overrun by some kind of filthy slime. The people, the buildings, and the wildlife all seem to be slowly deteriorating from the inside. You need to find your lost friend and get out before this town sinks its claws into you too.

Fight and Survive Against Unfathomable Monstrosities

Scavenge for scarce supplies and weapons to fight off the twisted monstrosities now roaming the darkest corners of the town. You’re no hero, but your will to live is still strong enough to get through this living nightmare.

Speak to Locals Slowly Losing Their Sanity

Some questions or puzzles can only be answered by the locals. But they are seldom helpful to outsiders. If you want to understand them, you have to play along with their delusions and understand their inner world. Those still conscious in this void of a town seem like they are suspended between life and death. Their isolated minds slowly edging towards insanity and some of your questions are really starting to get on their shattered nerves…

Classic Visuals with Modern Tricks and Technology

Our custom in-house technology allows us to bring a new spin on the pixel look. Hand-drawn pixel-art environments now brought to life with dynamic lighting and camera rotation letting you explore the world from eight different angles. Just don’t let those shadows play tricks on your mind.

Player Statistics

What this shows: Concurrent player counts (CCU) and daily active users reveal real-time engagement with the game. High sustained CCU indicates healthy player retention, which drives ongoing revenue through in-game purchases, DLC, and premium subscriptions. Look for the 24-hour peak—multiplayer games should show clear patterns (evening spikes in major regions). Single-player titles typically see declining CCU over weeks unless major updates or discounts occur. For investors, sustained player counts months after launch signal successful live-service implementation. Sharp drops may indicate server issues, negative publicity, or loss of interest. This data complements revenue estimates—games with 100,000+ daily players usually generate significant recurring income.

Search Interest

What this shows: Google Search trends reveal public awareness and interest over time, independent of Steam metrics. Spikes indicate moments when the game captured mainstream attention—typically around announcements, trailers, beta releases, or launch day. Compare search interest to follower growth to gauge whether marketing efforts are reaching beyond the existing gaming community. For unreleased games, rising search volume suggests effective promotional campaigns. For released games, sustained search interest months after launch indicates lasting cultural relevance. Investors should note: viral search moments don't always translate to sales, but they do indicate brand awareness that could drive future DLC or sequel success. This data helps answer "Is anyone talking about this game outside of core gaming circles?"
