About the Story

Swamps — atmospheric interactive fiction about the price of choice

German-occupied Polesia, autumn 1941. You are Mikhas, a village feldsher — the only healer for miles. Every night someone knocks at the window, and behind every choice is a life. No "right" answers — only consequences the whole district remembers.

Stark realism in the tradition of Vasil Bykaŭ: no heroics, no clean victories. You don't win — you choose what you can live with.

• Five chapters, a deeply branching story
• Scarcity that bites: spirit, morphine, bandages — everything is counted
• Relationships that shift with your deeds — the village, the partisans, the Germans
• A painterly illustration for almost every scene
• Free + offline
• Available in 11 languages: English, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Hebrew, and Georgian

Also on the App Store (iPhone/iPad) and Google Play (Android).
The sequel, Swamps II: The Blockade, was released on iOS — and it's bigger in almost every way.
