2007

"Curiosity has killed many. Looking for that elusive border of reality, lurking in occult chats, investigating urban legends about the town of G... Is it really worth the price? Beware as you peer into the unknown, painstakingly extracting grains of truth from all those outlandish rumors and strange incidents - they are bound to notice. As humans, we simply cannot withstand the magnetic temptation of forbidden knowledge. But are you willing to lose your mind over the answers to questions no one has ever asked?"   2007 is a branching visual novel that blends psychological horror with Russian culture, in particular the online culture and chats of the ever-romanticized year 2007. The plot revolves around Grishka (a.k.a. Grisha or just Grigoriy), a regular student who scours the internet for urban legends about G - a small Russian science town in the Moscow region where he studies and works barista shifts at Moonbucks. Soon, word of a girl's bizarre death stirs up Brainbridge, Grishka's occult chat of choice. Among morgue lifehacks, foreboding tarot readings, a creepy JPG file, and an ocean of other information, Grishka must do the impossible: stay sane and find out the truth while the clock is ticking...   This visual novel is playable in Russian and English and features full Russian voice acting, a bold and characteristic art style accompanied by an atmospheric multi-composer original soundtrack, multiple endings, and a premium selection of Russian culture, from actual food to creepypasta.
