Forty years of insomnia. Forty years of trying to forget that August. But memory is a trap you can't escape by simply closing your eyes.
For Nikita, time stood still long ago. His life has become an endless, exhausting marathon of anxiety, where night brings no rest. Trying to find some peace and escape the haunting nightmares, he suddenly discovers that reality has cracked. Instead of oblivion, he falls into the past.
It's August 1982. Hot, dusty, real. He's thirteen again, and he's shaking on an old bus carrying a group of late Pioneers to the Burevestnik camp.
Your shift begins strangely. The camp greets you not with a ceremonial assembly and songs around the campfire, but with an eerie silence and the creaking of empty swings. The counselors are gone, the director has left, and the only remaining master of the camp is the mysterious caretaker, Yegor Danilych—a man with a heavy gaze who seems to know more about you than you do.
This shift is filled with outcasts: a local bully, a perpetually hungry greedy man, an arrogant beauty, inseparable twins with opposite personalities, and a quiet intellectual. But in the strange, distorted world of "Burevestnik," their childhood vices and fears begin to take on a terrifying physical form.
You will be immersed in a surreal story where familiar Soviet life intertwines with a nightmare. Why did the beauty turn into a soulless mannequin? Why was the greedy man punished with bestial form? And where do those who didn't manage to hide before lights out disappear to?
To break the time loop and return home, Nikita will have to play a dangerous game with the camp's owner. Solve Danilych's riddles, search for items that can restore your comrades' humanity, and try to understand what really happened that distant August.
Every mistake throws you back to the beginning of your shift. But remember: sometimes saving others is the only way to save yourself. Welcome to Burevestnik. Your final shift begins now.
