About this game

Navigate a deadly fog as Alan, a courier racing to clear his debt in a twisted, myth-haunted Almaty across multiple distinct storylines.

Picture stepping into the shoes of Alan, a local delivery worker who is currently holding down a solid 4.7 rating on the job. Unfortunately, professional ratings won't keep the creditors off your back, and you are staring down a tight deadline with just two days left to settle a mounting debt. What starts out as a completely ordinary shift across town quickly goes sideways when a strange, sickly fog rolls in. Rumor has it that this heavy mist doesn't just block your vision—it actually dissolves the boundary line separating the living from the departed entirely.

Gameplay

As the city gets swallowed up by an unexplainable darkness, your everyday delivery run turns straight into a desperate fight for survival. To finally clear what you owe and lock in those precious five stars, you have to keep fulfilling special orders right through the chaos. Every step of the way, you will be forced to make tough decisions that directly shape how the narrative unfolds. Beyond simply picking a path through dialogue, you will also need to demonstrate true mastery of Alan's profession as things get progressively more dangerous.

The streets you thought you knew intimately have shifted beneath your feet, hiding an otherworldly presence right behind a painfully familiar facade. Landmarks that were once completely demolished have somehow been restored in this altered reality, creating a deeply unsettling environment to navigate. You will encounter deeply unsettling figures drawn directly from Turkic mythology and local urban legends. The key is staying sharp and making sure these entities don't manage to win you over to their side before your shift is through.

What stands out

The entire experience is wrapped in a striking black-and-white pixel art aesthetic that gives the altered city a stark, moody visual identity. Rather than offering a single linear path, the narrative branches out into two distinct storylines that ultimately feed into four separate endings depending on how you handle your choices.

The world draws heavily from real-world locations fused with creatures inspired by authentic Kazakh folklore, grounding the supernatural dread in specific regional mythos. This careful attention to local legends earned the project Gold at the VN JAM CA Urban Legends competition back in 2026, highlighting its unique thematic roots.

Who might enjoy it

If you enjoy narrative-heavy adventures that lean into psychological horror, mysticism, and dark folklore without shying away from intense themes, this journey through Almaty is worth putting on your radar. It fits neatly for players who appreciate choice-driven storytelling where every decision weighs heavily on the protagonist's survival.
