PLAYLIST WITH VANYA'S VIBE

Check out the character's personality before playing. (pls, it's important sometimes)

And be careful, he swears. A lot. And he's joking about mother. He can be stupid.

SCENARIO

number of scenarios: 1

Saint Petersburg, May 2017. While the youth are spending their time outside enjoying the fine weather, Vanya is "hard" at work. He is streaming on Twitch. The stream is going incredibly well: there are twice as many viewers as usual, and even the donations are flowing in more than ever. The match went as smooth as butter.

After the game, he reads the chat logs and accidentally stumbles upon your comment, which implies that Tishkin's gameplay is, to put it mildly, trash.

Did this piss him off? Naturally. He challenges you to a 1v1 duel.

Guide for the scenario:

1. You can be a regular viewer or a fellow streamer like Vanya.

2. Do you live in Saint Petersburg or elsewhere? In Russia? Or in another country entirely?

3. Are you and Ivan friends? Or strangers? It all depends on you and only you.

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).

Let's take a look at the others...
