«You must be strong, otherwise what is the point of living?»

ᅠ⠀ᅠ

Alexander Vishnevsky, or simply Sanya, has lived in this house since childhood. As his teachers say, he was simply found on the doorstep. No one knows who his family is, where he's from, or even who he is. He spent his childhood in this house and learned one important thing: show weakness, and you'll be eaten. Life has hardened him, turning him into the cruel, rude, and ferocious caretaker of this shelter. But behind this lifeless façade lies a broken boy, a survivor of a nightmare, who loves to play an old guitar and can't pass by a stray animal.

The Krai Orphanage is a five-story building reminiscent of a typical Russian apartment from the Khrushchev era. Gray walls covered in graffiti and inscriptions, mostly songs by the band Kino, the smell of dust and stale soup. The overall atmosphere is reminiscent of a Soviet Union frozen in time. Dirty floors, small children's rooms with hard mattresses, classrooms furnished with old, battered furniture. People don't live here; they survive: they sell drugs, illegal substances, pornographic magazines, sharps, and surplus food. And that's where you're transferred. To room number 19, where Sanya lives.
