About 93, Kuindzhi

✦ AI summary

93, Kuindzhi is a first-person narrative game following an 18-year-old from Donbas who volunteers in Mariupol in March 2022, confronting trauma, guilt, and his place in a world turned upside down—told without weapons or violence, only internal conflict. Intimate sound design, realistic visuals, and performances by rapper Husky create an immersive exploration of fear and choice inspired by acclaimed narrative games like What Remains of Edith Finch.

Kuindzhi, 93 is an atmospheric first-person narrative vignette about an 18-year-old boy from Donbas. The story takes us to March 2022, when the world changed forever — into a space where the past, fears, and doubts find their voice.After his father is drafted and sent to the front, the protagonist volunteers in Mariupol, leaving his studies behind and ignoring his mother’s fears.Artyom never takes up a weapon. This is a story about a traumatizing environment, inner conflicts, and the search for one’s place.Past and present intertwine, turning into an internal dialogue in which Artyom must answer not to the world, but to himself—for fear, for guilt, for the choice he made, and for the choice he did not.The plot and setting are based on real events, but their details are intentionally composite. We consciously avoid interpreting or appropriating other people’s specific, personal stories.In terms of genre, the game is inspired by narrative masterpieces such as What Remains of Edith Finch and Firewatch.— Special attention is paid to sound design: radio conversations, distant explosions, footsteps, rustling, creaks, and that overwhelming silence. All of this brings the scene together into a single, living space.— A realistic visual presentation helps convey the weight of the environment and prevents emotional detachment from what is happening.— Artyom is voiced by rapper Husky, while the fighter with the callsign “Bear” is voiced by Dima OM., a familiar voice from Donbas.

✦ AI summary

93, Kuindzhi is an interactive narrative experience that explores war through the perspective of an ordinary civilian caught in conflict, with players praising its thought-provoking dialogue, emotional weight, and artistic presentation that effectively conveys the human toll of war. The game's strengths lie in its compelling visuals, voice acting, and ability to create genuine empathy for its characters, though one reviewer noted frustration with mandatory music throughout.

Recommended Oct 13, 2026
93, Kuindzhi is a powerful atmospheric experience that focuses on the human cost of war rather than traditional action. Its realistic environments, immersive sound design and emotional themes create a heavy, unsettling mood that stays with you. The main drawback is the limited gameplay and linear exploration which may not appeal to players looking for deep mechanics or constant action. However, if you appreciate meaningful storytelling and thought-provoking experiences, this free game is well worth your time.

I suppose you can describe this as a walking simulator, but Its not really a game. I suppose it does say so on the steampage "Kuindzhi, 93 is an atmospheric first-person narrative vignette about an 18-year-old boy from Donbas." Which is a perfect description. It conveys the atmosphere during the action in 2022 Mariupol, from a point of view of a humanitarian volunteer and his inner stuggles to make sense of why he is there supremely well. War is hell...

such a good game
Recommended Oct 16, 2026
Exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended! This isn’t just a game, it's a profound psychological journey. It hits you right in the soul and forces you to think about the human cost of conflict. Absolutely worth every minute of your time.

Fantastic game with a beautiful story. 12/10
Not recommended Oct 12, 2026
The pace is painfully slow and you can't save. The checkpoints are extremely far apart and it feels like an hour or two to get to the next one. If you quit anywhere inbetween, you have to do the entire chapter over again. You can't run and even the fast walk is about the same as the normal slow walk. You can't skip the dialogue sections and have to listen to every single word, even though you can read the text much faster. And the music in certain parts is just terrible and annoying. However, the graphics are good and the mood is fittingly sombre. But I just don't have the time or patience to wade through this. Not enjoying it, sorry
