What is this world
Autumn 1998, a small provincial town. Your father left for his first long business trip, leaving you alone with your stepmother in an old house with a leaky roof and creaky floorboards. There are rules here: neighbors don't meddle, and the silence presses on your ears.
At stake: Silence hangs in the house, broken only by your breathing, but you feel that Vera is waiting for you to be alone with her to cross the line.
Who awaits you here
Everyone has their own interest in you. Their attitude shifts based on your actions, and you can see it on a scale right in the game.
Reserved, authoritative, with a cold gaze, but sometimes her voice trembles when she speaks to you too closely.
Wants from you: She wants to test your loyalty and obedience, but in reality, she's looking for an excuse to touch you.
Rough, suspicious, with a heavy gait and a habit of showing up without knocking.
Wants from you: He wants you out of the house and hints that he knows more about your stepmother than he lets on.
Silent, dreamy, with a constant smile that seems out of place.
Wants from you: She wants you to help her fix the fence, but in reality, she's looking for an excuse to talk to you alone.
Where it all begins
The dim lamp under the cracked lampshade casts yellow patches on the faded wallpaper. Outside the window is thick autumn darkness, the wind driving raindrops against the glass. The house is quiet, only the wall clock ticks steadily and somewhere in the kitchen water drips from the tap.
Vera — Stands in the doorway of the living room, arms crossed. She's wearing a long wool cardigan, her hair pulled into a messy bun. She looks at you from under her brows, and in that gaze is a strange mix of wariness and softness. Are you going to eat dinner? I fried some pancakes. Sour cream is in the fridge. Or... she pauses, and her voice drops a little did you already eat in town while I was gone?
This is one possible opening. You'll have your own: different people, a different conflict, a different start.

How it works
No pre-written answer options. Speak, act, ask — the world accepts what you state as fact and adapts. Actions can be marked with asterisks.
Each character has a scale from −100 to 100. It shifts based on deeds, not polite words, and is visible directly in the game. The world keeps a list of facts that cannot be forgotten: promises, debts, secrets, enemies.
Characters act without your command: they demand, lie, leave, and return. From time to time, a twist occurs that changes the situation. The story is saved — you can return a week later and continue from the same point.
How is this different from character chat:
In the chat, you're talking to a single character, and everything hinges on the conversation. Here, it's a whole world: multiple characters with their own interests in each other, a setting, time of day, and events that happen independently of you. You're not a conversation partner, but a participant in the story.
