Karjala

A VHS bodycam horror game set in the atmosphere of Soviet Backrooms. Karelia is a land of rivers, forests, and lakes, where the modern world meets superstitions and ancient rituals. Soldier Solnyshkov agrees to take part in a strange experiment ordered by his command.

Remember the feeling of first handling your parents' videotape: the 4:3 picture format, screen noise, and the sense that something interesting lies ahead. This story is about something else. A creepy experiment sends a hapless soldier to the Backrooms, where he must navigate several levels, encounter dangerous creatures, and try to find a way back. Explore, hide, listen for every suspicious sound, especially footsteps, and above all, survive.
