Based on the novel of the same name by Strugatsky brothers,
this non-linear 3D RPG features a branching story with four
endings in this tale of the Kingdom of Arkanar. One of the
gameplay features is the interference of two epochs in the
game universe Ц the medieval and the alternative future.
This provides the peculiar variety of different weapons and
armors - from swords and bows to miniguns, from full plates
to force fields - and equipment like binoculars and night
vision goggles at charactersТ disposal. The active combat
system also includes a party system and damage modeling on
the hero where the character can be wounded badly which will
diminish his attributes and require long recover, and even
lose a limb or be decapitated by a strong attack of the
opponent. The whole world from the book is being carefully
created anew under the supervision of one of its demiurges,
Boris Natanovich Strugatsky.
