DOM RUSALOK

I always struggled to buy this game cause it was rather expensive But now, that it's FREE forever, I finally played it It's really fun I'm not a big fan of side scrollers but this one got me You play in old Russia as a Teen and have to do things Move to grandma, meet new friends, discover secrets... it's all a lil weird It was really a pleasure to see all the different characters that you play, their own stories and how they behave It all comes together somehow but the end still left me with questions Give it a go, it's nice

I definitely recommend it, especially now that it’s become free. 8/10 More weird dark games: Part 1 https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45665580/ the p1 full, so make part 2: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46219602

I really wanted to like this game. The story is fine (if vague), the gameplay is basic but serviceable, but the atmosphere/aesthetic is very strong and that sort of thing is usually enough to carry me through a game like this. Unfortunately, DØM RUSALOK has one fatal flaw that makes it almost unbearable to play - the walk speed is abominably slow. It took nearly two months for me to try the game again after my first play session, because rather than being atmospheric or tense, that slow walk speed was a source of frustration that ruined the vibe and made me reluctant to play. I ended up referring to a guide once I finally picked it up again purely so that I wouldn't have to backtrack back and forth and watch that slow crawl across the screen, which isn't an ideal way to play to say the least. If you're far more patient than I am (or if you're incredibly nostalgic for post-Soviet Russia) it might be worth giving it a go, but otherwise I can't really recommend it, and that's a real shame.

It's kinda neat, but hard to recommend. Lot's of nostalgia all over the place. Kinda neat atmosphere. Gameplay is a bit janky though. Story builds up, but feels unresolved.

Warm and cheerful story of a happy children in an early post-soviet Russia.
