Visual Novel: EVENING BROADCAST
Late evening in 1989. A student receives an old Soviet television with one warning: "Don't watch it in the evening. Anyone watching in the dark remains inside."
1989. Yura Laptev, a student at a technical institute, receives an old television from a mysterious old man. The old man gives one warning: "Don't watch it in the evening. Anyone watching in the evening remains inside."
Yura ignores the warning. In the evening, he turns on the television—and finds himself trapped.
Now he finds himself inside the screen, in a world of static and forgotten television studios. Around him is a labyrinth of abandoned Soviet television studios, once bustling with life. Then the airwaves were shut down. The programs were forgotten. But they didn't disappear—they remained inside. Waiting. Hungry.
Ten Meetings, Ten Choices
Yura understands: to escape, he must go through all the studios. But each meeting is a test. Each presenter plays their own game. Each has their own rules, their own logic, their own understanding of how the world works.
And in every studio, there's a choice. To act or to refuse. To believe or to doubt. To watch or to close your eyes. To join the game or to stand aside.
The wrong choice—and Yura will remain here. To become part of the show. An eternal spectator or an eternal actor.
The Logic of Survival
It's not about strength or dexterity. It's about understanding people. Understanding what they want. Why they're desperate. Where their weaknesses lie.
Every encounter is a puzzle. Sometimes the solution is to act. Sometimes it's to refuse. Sometimes it's simply to look into their eyes and not look away. Sometimes it's to leave, not playing at all.
Every choice has consequences. Every ending tells a story.
Every studio is a place of silent melancholy. Every presenter was once needed. Now they're static.
Psychological horror through dialogue—Characters don't scream or attack. They persuade, manipulate, and play with words. Every phrase can become a trap or a salvation.
GAME FEATURES
A choice system with irreversible consequences — Every decision carries weight. The wrong word, the wrong look, the wrong refusal — and you're trapped inside forever. No second chances in a single playthrough.
Multiple trap endings — Dozens of different bad endings, each showing how you become part of the broadcast. Each has its own logic and horror.
Changing studios and atmospheres — From the silence of static to cardboard sets, from icy walls to sticky floors, from empty chairs to mirrored reflections. Each location creates a new trap.
One night, one story — A complete journey from turning on the TV to either exiting or dissolving into static. A coherent story that can be completed in a single evening and replayed for different endings.
Choices based on understanding — There are no right answers, only logical ones. You must understand why each character is desperate, what they want, and where their weakness lies. The solution comes not from action, but from reflection.
