The Other Side
of the Block

The block has 90 flats.

SCROLL ▾

The papers say 91.

Max checks old buildings before they are demolished. A normal job — until the numbers don't match.

Mailbox 91 is not empty.

Тиша

Someone crossed out the name. Not a child.

Tap the black line. It won't come off.

He was waiting.

Feed the cat. Follow it.

Food is the only thing he listens to. A fed cat walks ahead and looks back at you.

The other side

Nobody lives here. Every door is open.

The same block, as it remembers itself. On the face you talk. On the other side you hide. Drag the line.

They see your light. They hear your steps.

No fighting. Go around, or hide and wait.

The block, cut open

Five ways to one door.

The block from the side, floor by floor. Pick a route — the steps appear on the building.

Traces

The block remembers. Find what it kept.

Five windows, in order. Each one is a memory from 1994 — this is how the player learns what happened. Click window 1.

Тиша

Tysha. Ukrainian for "silence".

You read it in every note as a word. It was a name.

You don't choose the ending. You build it.

Three doors. Open them.

Who made this

Yehor Matviienko

Aspiring game designer. I grew up in blocks like this one — every detail here is something I've seen. One mission, five routes, a cat instead of a quest marker: this is how I think about games.
