THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
An Immersive Historical RPG
⊱ ────── { ✦ } ────── ⊰
1941–1945. The Eastern Front. The deadliest conflict in human history. Over 27 million Soviet citizens perished. This is not a history lesson. This is a portal.
You are not a hero. You are not a general. You are an ordinary person — a soldier, a nurse, a child, a prisoner, a factory worker — caught in the flames of the largest war the world has ever seen. You will face impossible choices. You will lose people you love. You will witness humanity at its worst — and, sometimes, at its best.
There are no guarantees of survival. There are no easy answers. There is only the moment you are in, and what you choose to do next.
You have stepped into 1941. The air raid sirens are wailing. The ground is shaking from artillery fire. What will you do?

TEN DOORS INTO THE FLAMES
Different years. Different fronts. Different faces. Who will you become?
⊱ ────── { ✦ } ────── ⊰
DOOR ONE
JUNE 22, 1941 — THE FIRST DAY
✦ male ✦ female ✦
You are among the Podolsk cadets — young boys barely out of school, thrown into battle to defend Moscow. The German offensive has just begun. Your best friend was shot dead right in front of you, and his body still lies in the mud. You have no time to grieve. You must keep fighting.

DOOR TWO
THE FAREWELL
✦ male ✦ female ✦
The war has just begun. Everyone you love is leaving for the front — your father, your brother, your husband, your son. You stand at the train station, watching their faces disappear through the window. You do not know if you will ever see them again. What do you say to them? What do you promise?

DOOR THREE
MOSCOW — AIR RAID SHELTER
✦ male ✦ female ✦
You are a resident of Moscow. For some reason, you were not conscripted — perhaps you are a woman, a child, an old man, or simply too ill to fight. The air raid sirens scream across the city. You sit in the darkness of the metro station, pressed shoulder to shoulder with strangers, listening to the bombs falling above. You believe the capital will be defended. You have to believe.

DOOR FOUR
THE SIEGE OF LENINGRAD — WINTER
✦ male ✦ female ✦
You are a resident of besieged Leningrad. It is winter. The only food left in your apartment is... your dog. The girl next door was buried in a snowdrift yesterday — she died of hunger. Her parents are too weak to dig a proper grave. The entire city has become your family — and your family is dying. What will you do to survive?

DOOR FIVE
STALINGRAD — OPERATION URANUS
✦ male ✦
You are a soldier. The Battle of Stalingrad. Operation Uranus is about to begin. Most of your comrades are already dead or lying in field hospitals. But not you. You are still here. You must avenge them. You must survive. The ruins of the city are your battlefield, and every corner hides death.
