GAMES BEYOND™
New sub-category for Jujubee's products characterized by a greater emphasis on the story being told, original gameplay, and mature subject matter.
"We believe the time has come to tell real stories. In an age in which we compete for the free time of consumers against the entire entertainment industry, including movies and TV series, and when people are less likely to read non-fiction, game producers have an additional obligation. It's true that games are becoming more complex, offering an incredible audio-visual experience, and allowing us to lose ourselves in a virtual world, but they rarely help us grow. That is why we want to step outside the self-contained world of video game subject matter and invite players to broaden their knowledge about history or the actual world. We’re convinced that KURSK will be a very attractive title to anyone looking for an ambitious and mature game" - said Michal Stępien, CEO of Jujubee.

Cool premise Very meh graphics Stutters on a God tier 5090/9800x3d rig despite obviously locked max-panel fps probably could be resolved with special k or some such but I cant be bothered3 found this helpful
Has to be one of the most boring games i have played. I dont care if its on sale, dont buy it 😂
I've seen some say that Kursk is the first documentary adventure game. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it doesn't really stand up as a good documentary or a good game. If you're interested in the subject area, or military history in general, then there might be something in this for you. It's clear that a lot of time has been spent on recreating the Kursk interior that you can explore, and I would say that this is a genuine positive and something that a history enthusiast would appreciate. Whether the design is fully historically accurate I cannot say, but it certainly feels historically authentic. It's quite interesting to explore the inside of the Kursk for a short while and get a sense of life aboard the submarine. That is about it really in terms of the history. As far as being a documentary is concerned, you don't really get any insights into the actual disaster. You can pick up on a conversations from submariners saying that there was an explosion. Some submariners speculate that it was sabotage, some suggest a faulty torpedo, and some saying it the result of an enemy action. I guess there is still perhaps a lot of mystery around what really happened, but don't expect yo…
KURSK, developed by Jujubee S.A. and published by Salient Games, is a narrative-focused experience that attempts to blend historical tragedy with interactive storytelling, positioning itself somewhere between a documentary and an adventure game. Set aboard the ill-fated Russian submarine K-141 Kursk, it places players in the role of an undercover operative tasked with gathering intelligence while embedded among the crew. From the outset, the game establishes a serious and grounded tone, making it clear that its priority is not entertainment in the conventional sense, but rather immersion in a real-world event shaped by tension, uncertainty, and eventual disaster. The narrative is the strongest pillar of the experience, carrying much of the game’s emotional and thematic weight. By combining fictional espionage elements with documented history, the story builds a sense of anticipation that grows heavier as events unfold. Conversations with crew members, optional interactions, and environmental details all contribute to a portrayal of life aboard the submarine that feels personal and human. There is a deliberate focus on routine—daily tasks, casual conversations, and small moments of…
Its buggy and poorly thought , yet its very cool
A pretty cool game, even thouch the crane animation is rather funny. The story and the other animations are really well made and the the overall game pretty fun. Sadly are some achievements really buggy which is pretty annoying. Still a nice game with nice graphics. I can recommend it
