Overview
DOM RUSALOK plunges players into the unsettling atmosphere of 1990s Russia, specifically a provincial town on the fringes of the collapsing Soviet Union. The narrative centers on a group of children whose seemingly ordinary lives, filled with the usual camaraderie and conflicts of youth, are shattered when one of their own mysteriously vanishes. This event forces the remaining children to confront a horror beyond their comprehension – the DØM RUSALOK, a place where their deepest fears manifest into reality.
