About HOPE LEFT ME

It's so cold, and you're alone!

In this short experience, unravel the mystery of your existence in this post-noir adventure in a cold forgotten reality, a concrete hellscape where the night never fades, the snow never melts, and nothing makes sense.

This is a tie-in game to the album of the same name by Astrophysics.

This game features:

- 2 distinct ways of experiencing it through its soundtrack, the VN Cut (Visual Novel version of the tracks), and the LP Cut (The full, unchanged album versions of the songs). Choose what suits you best!

- Around 15-20 minutes of stylized post-soviet despair.

- VHS filter that can be adjusted to your likings.

Good game, relatable, not a lot of content but the artwork and music are solid. I have to agree with the System Requirements, good headphones are actually a requirement, unironically. I'm not sure why people complain about the price-to-length ratio when it is less than 2 euros on sale and has a length statement in the description (they say 15-20 minutes, but even speed-reading through it took me 45 minutes). If you are willing to spend 2 euros for 30-60 minutes (depending on your reading speed) of good art, music, and writing, it's absolutely worth it. Though I have one tiny piece of feedback, there are a few grammar mistakes in the game which are very common specifically for Russian English speakers. If the devs really wanted to fix these they could hire an English native speaker, or even ask me, I wouldn't mind. But it's a very small nitpick, it honestly doesn't take away from the game in any way. If you are invested enough to read all the way through this long review, just play it.

Really loved it! It's short so there's nothing much to say. And now, purely negative feedback (use your headcanon Sasha's voice) -Russian translation fonts are weird, also your pronouns are male (hey!) -The Filter is weird. Not only it makes the protag's russian text unreadable, but also flashbangs you avery few seconds -The loading times are surprisingly long (SSD) -15 fps lock makes cursor and steam achievement very laggy -No exit button (alt+f4) and no fullscreen button (Alt+Enter) More games about mentally sick girl in Russia! Giving everyone an easy access to fall out of the window wasn't СССР's best idea. I ate so much Syrniki in my life that I can't stand them anymore. Komm, Süsser Tod.
