[ColonelCassad] As part of our support for domestic developers, a new Russian game, "Road of Life," has been released. It's dedicated to the eponymous logistics route that helped supply Leningrad during the siege during a critical period of the war.
The plot is simple: get behind the wheel of a truck and drive across Lake Ladoga to Leningrad. In parts, it's similar to "Kuindzhi 93," about the Battle of Mariupol, which offered players the opportunity to play as a volunteer from the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
Made with government funding, the game is positioned as an educational product, telling the story of those events in a simplified, game-like format. "Kuindzhi 93" was a hit and received very positive reviews. We'll see how "Road of Life" fares.
The game doesn't claim much, but it wasn't heavily budgeted, and it's being given away for free. Download it for free on Steam or VK Play.
Remarkably, games released this way are often released on the largest Western gaming platform and find their audience there. Against the backdrop of the recent high-profile failures of "Smuta" and "Pioneer," which were deliberately ignored by Western game stores.
