Страшная история, если вдуматься во все произошедшее с этими несчастными людьми.

Хорошая, короткая игра! Концовке не сильно удивился, потому что был знаком с подобной историей, но она заставила меня еще раз вздрогнуть, что такой случай имел место быть.

Played beginning to end in VR with the UEVR injector mod. Very immersive slice-of-life in a 1980s Soviet apartment (especially in VR). The narrative takes a while to reveal itself but the payoff is very worth it, especially knowing this is based on a true story. Definitely worth experiencing.

I was on the verge of marking this as negative, but the ending saved the game. Bright Lights of Svetlov is based on a true event, which is where I changed my mind and decided to give this game a positive review. I've played a few games based on true events/stories and I can appreciate when it's done tastefully. The game does start out pretty dull and boring, but the ending threw me for a loop and honestly very few games have pulled that off this well. Honestly the game play at the beginning was boring, and a few times I wanted to stop and refund it, but I'm glad I didn't and glad I finished the game. The ending is what saved this game- the ending threw me for a loop and honestly very few games have pulled that off this well. I will say the game play is a bit wonky, glitchy, and every time I went back to main menu I had to reset back to English. At times when a character would speak the Subtitles would show Russian instead of English. I had to change my resolution because the task weren't popping up for me. The true event this is based on- Kramatorsk radiological accident

Suprisingly good walking simulator. Short and concise with a nice atmosphere and a clear objective for the most part. Based on a true story that had me googling after finishing it.
