## What is OLOID?

St Petersburg, 2018. Egor, his wife Vera and their three-year-old son Fedya move into an old flat at 21 Razdolnaya Street, hoping to finally make it a home. Under layers of wallpaper Egor finds a boarded-up opening: a room that appears on no floor plan. And Fedya says: "Daddy was in the wall."

OLOID is a mystical thriller visual novel with elements of psychological horror. The fear here is quiet: a hammer, old wallpaper, the meters in the hallway, and the past of the former tenants, which threatens to become your future.

• Pry open the wall with a scraper or a crowbar, tell your wife the truth or keep it from her: the game remembers every choice. At the end of the episode, the "Your Egor" screen shows who you made him.
• Three cases in one folder: a newspaper clipping from the time of the Romanovs, an official memo from 1946 and a crime report from the nineties. Three stories, and each leads to the same address.
• Mini-games: a flashlight in a dark hidden room, a safe's keypad, a car radio, "tanks" on an old TV and more.
• Oil-painted art: St Petersburg courtyards, wet granite, a psychiatric hospital, a morgue, cheap bars.
• Full Russian voice acting; text in Russian and English.
• 21 achievements.

Episode I: 28 chapters, about 2 to 3 hours. The script of all four episodes is written to the end.

### 5/5 — Оригинальная история

*2026-10-26*

В современных реалиях обилия нейрослопа – приятно видеть оригинальный человеческий труд вложенный в эту игру. Обычно не играю в новеллы с телефона, т.к. довольно мелкий текст, но тут все сделано очень комфортно. 
Отдельное спасибо за подсказку с кодом для сейфа))

Проходится на одном дыхании, теперь интересно что будет дальше!
Когда будет следующий эпизод?

**Developer response:** Спасибо вам огромное! Мы правда вложили в OLOID много живого труда, поэтому особенно приятно, что это чувствуется. Рады, что текст удобно читать с телефона и что подсказка к сейфу пригодилась :) Новости о продолжении первыми появляются в нашем Telegram: t.me/oloid_vn
