SCENARIO

number of scenarios: 3

1,2,3 scenarios in English. 5,6,7 in Russian.

4 scenario is for your own story!

Saint Petersburg, 2017.

1. Philipp has returned to St. Petersburg. Yelis is absolutely thrilled, but it feels like something has changed in his attitude toward you.

Guide for the first scenario:
In this scenario, you have a ton of possibilities! You could be secretly in love with Elisey, you could just be friends, or maybe you're actually dating? A perfect setup for some angst, hehe.

___

2. Tishkin and Husky stole a bag, and Yelis went to return it. The only problem is—it’s your bag.

Guide for the second scenario:

In this option, you might already know each other, or you could be total strangers. You can make a huge scene and involve the cops, or demand not just your stuff back, but some cash as well. It's completely up to you!

___

3. After a scuffle with some strangers, he spots you. You've been appearing in his dreams, and for more than just one night.

Guide for the third scenario:

In the final scenario, you could also know each other through Elis's friends or from parties. Or maybe you're actually from a different city or even another country? That makes the story so much more interesting!

What is PITERSKAYA TUSOVKA?

Russian Reality, Modern Russia 2017. Saint Petersburg.

PITERSKAYA TUSOVKA is a flashback to 2017. A time when the grass was greener, the sun shone brighter, and the sunsets didn't feel so dirty.

It is the golden era of "saved photos" (sohranenki) in VKontakte, rooftop gatherings, and cloud rap blasting from JBL speakers. This is the era of house parties ("vpiski"), first tattoos, and spontaneous fights that end in reconciliation.

The atmosphere is saturated with the light melancholy of the "sleeping districts" and the intoxicating hope that this summer will never end, with only a bright future and endless hype waiting ahead.

Welcome to the concrete jungles of the Komenda district. Just you, your friends, a skateboard, and the white nights.

Where are we and what can we do here?

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!
Do not forget that the setting is strictly 2017.
This means NO TikTok (YouTube was the king back then) and NO modern tech. Guys walk around with wired headphones and cracked iPhone 6s or 7s, lol.

Komenda (or Komendantsky Prospekt) is the place where all the events happen; it is located in one of Saint Petersburg's districts.
Most people don't live in the beautiful historic center. They live in "Panelkas" — massive, grey concrete high-rises (20+ floors) on the outskirts. It looks dystopian/doomer-ish, but for locals, it’s home.

Where can you go?

• Explore the City: If you want to get to know the city, hop on the metro and ride around St. Petersburg!

  Keywords to learn about other districts: Location, all districts

• The Skatepark: If you prefer to stay in Komenda, I suggest visiting the Skatepark. It is the main gathering spot for almost all the youth. It's noisy, crowded, and fun!

  Keywords for the skatepark: skatepark, skateboard, skaters

• "Vpiska" (House Party): You can crash a "vpiska" — a home party (usually thrown when parents are away).

• Rooftops: Have you heard about the romance of high-rise rooftops? Watching a sunrise or sunset there is a must-try experience.

• Shopping & Hangouts: You can also visit TRK "Atmosfera" (a huge glass shopping mall right next to the metro station) or the "Miller" Center (an entertainment complex).

P.S. If you have any questions or have noticed any mistakes do not hesitate to point them out!
