Let’s hit the town, baby!

It’s door number three!

This one leads to a night out.

Can you pet a dog?

But you’re able to pet the rats.

It’s kind of grim but very cool post-Soviet slice-of-lifeNeyasnoe!

Alice0:It’s your big night out!

You’ve seen so much!

Been so many places!

Found so many curiosities as you poked about!

Talked with so many people!

So why does your life feel so empty?

Neyasnoe is a livelier slice of post-Soviet life but not a much cheerier one.

It’s not a cheery game.

It’s exciting to explore as a player but everywhere feels tired and desperate for our character.

It’s an unchanging grimness.

Also, Neyasnoe has a feature I want in every game: auto-dancing.

It has some of the most alarmingly authentic first-person drunkness too, really nailing that feeling of lurching inertia.

Pretty game, too.
