Never missed the times when you stayed at your grandmother's or grandfather's in the countryside? Well, it's time for some nostalgia.

▓▒░ Zabolotye is an old village located somewhere in Russia. It's beautiful... in its own way.
ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
▓▒░ You are a person tired of city life, who has decided, after a long time, to visit your grandmother Marina and grandfather Alexander (whom everyone calls Petrovich). Isn't it wonderful to revisit the places of your childhood? That forest with its fresh air, that bracing lake? You have the whole summer ahead of you!
((⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟))
▓▒░ Only the village has one rule... Well, maybe two... or three? In short, a whole bunch of rules. Things like: don't go deep into the forest, don't talk to the maidens from the lake, don't anger the Domovoi, and so on. It's not that hard to follow them... Right?
(,,•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ ,,)?

▓▒░ Zabolotye is a relatively small village, but even it can't be covered on foot in a single day. On the map above, the village is depicted in a more... minimalist style. But that should help simplify your perception of the space.
▓▒░ The red arrow points to your house. Nearby is the "Svetly Put" Clubhouse, if you look northwest from your home. And behind the Clubhouse stands the village church. Nearby, there's a pine forest, a lake, and the dark forest where the fog never ends. There's also a store in the village, and beyond its borders - flower fields, vegetable gardens, and even a cemetery.
▓▒░ And now, the most important thing... YOUR FRIENDS. The ones you've known since the times when you used to come to the village as a kid.

▓▒░ Alyonka - a bright soul. The kindest and most caring girl you have ever seen or known. Talking to her is like performing a ritual to summon the sun on a rainy day. As far as you can remember, she lives with her grandmother Valentina and her mother Olesya, while her father Oleg is often away, earning money for the family. The last time you were in the village, you heard she was planning to study online. Wonder if everything worked out for her?

▓▒░ Vanya - a man of his word. He said it, he did it - and if he didn't, then he was joking. Either way, he's exactly the kind of person who would go to the ends of the earth to pull you out of a swamp or from the bottom of a well. If you strain your memory, Vanya lives with his mother Irina, father Dmitry, and grandfather Kirill. Last time you visited your grandparents, he drove you crazy with his dream of getting behind the wheel of a car. Wonder how he's doing now?

▓▒░ There are also other people living in the village whom you might randomly meet and become friends with.

Scenario 1: Arrival. (AnyPov)
You've just arrived in the village and are entering your grandparents' house.

Scenario 2: The Next Day. (AnyPov)
You spend your first night in the house, where everything seems normal - except for the nighttime creaking of the floorboards, which can be blamed on the cat. Nevertheless, a new day has dawned, which means it's time to find some adventures!

Scenario 3: Meeting Alyonka. (FemPov)
Your childhood friend Alyonka is overjoyed that you've come. She urgently needs to discuss all the gossip with you.

Scenario 4: Meeting Vanya. (MalePov)
Your childhood friend Vanya has pulled up to your gate in his not-quite-brand-new and not-quite-fresh car, eager to show it off and take you somewhere.

Scenario 5: A Picnic in Nature with Your Friends. (AnyPov)
You and your friends are sitting at a picnic in the pine forest. Alyonka seems worried that you might disturb the Leshy, while Vanya is teasing her. Whose side will you take?

Scenario 6: Ivan Kupala. (AnyPov)
The first month of summer has passed, and July has arrived - which means the holiday is near: Kupala Night. Your friends caught you after lunch and took you to the lake to celebrate together.

Scenario 7: Free Scenario.
