Panel houses, snow, overcast sky, tiny kitchen, shabby staircase… It's Winter is an indie game which genre could be classified as sandbox, post-soviet, sad 3d, russian sadness. Nothing awaits you: there is no chance to get out, no room for adventures and breathtaking plot. Just a broken radio, refrigerator filled with food, loneliness and endless snow.

This game created by Ilya Mazo in collaboration with well-known underground game designer Alexander Ignatov (sad3d) is a part of the "ШХД: ЗИМА" multi-platform project which consists of the book, music album, short film and theatre play.

I wanted to make a proper template, but then I played this and now I don't have the energy to do it. Cool Face

Look at this negative review

Quote:

I find it a little misleading for the description to advertise a “breathtaking plot” when the opposite is meant. There is no plot at all.

It’s poor form to write, “there is no [feature X], no [feature Y] and [highlight Z].” You can’t use the word “and,” leave out the third “no,” and at the same time expect that customers realize that this means that highlight Z is actually not in the game.

I would never have bought the game, had I not fallen for that grammatical trap.
