The Russian adventures are really flourishing lately, let's hope that they are going to reach us soon or lately! Developed by Phantomery Interactive and published by ND Games, here's a new game: Sublustrum combines elements of classical Myst-like adventure games, along with author’s approach to visual and audio environment. Interactive soundtrack has been designed for the game by Anthesteria project. The plot brings up aspects of irrational and subconscious dream viewing and near death experience. The main character, a mid-aged writer, who has recently got back from long-term wanderings in North Seas, receives an invitation letter from his brother – a scientist and professor at a university, whom he hasn’t seen for years, and decides to visit him. However upon arrival, the writer receives news about sudden disappearance of his brother and as he finds out, the scientist turned into a real outcast, who has alienated himself completely from the outer world and has been secretly working on a mysterious machine, which, according to his calculations, could separate one’s consciousness from his physical appearance.
Game features:
* Musical background, combining elements of dark-ambient and neoclassic and recorded by Anthesteria project is one of the main components of immersing into the world of Sublustrum includes individual sound design for each location.
* Explore the surroundings of a highly-detailed photorealistic gameplay, which combines the elements of Victorian style, modern, steam-punk, industrial aesthetics and retro-futurism in the best traditions of Myst and Scratches.
* A mystic and philosophic plot that explores the boundaries between dream and reality. Action takes place in a surreal atmosphere of the first half of XX century and touches aspects of one’s mentality, unconscious condition and internal conflicts.
* Unique system of puzzles which requires the player to use different perception aspects (associations, noises, time and space) Hints and limitations of active elements which help avoiding excessive difficulties in solving them.

Ah, looks nice and spooky, just the way I like 'em. :sigh: PS I'm with Gaily, it's definitely more Scratches or Darkfall than Myst. Still, I love all of the above so I'm sure I'll like this one no matter which game it resembles!  Cat

Hi all =)
2GBC: English version will be definetely.
2catbelly36: in the point of gameplay and atmosphere it's more like Myst. In the point of gamma it's more like Scrathes, you are right.
btw today we'll put couple of music tracks on game site - hope you'll like it.
If you are looking for totally crazy adventure game then pay attention to game called Tension =)
