Detstvo

Detstvo is a game about the last day of the school year, when summer and its three months of freedom begin. The longest day of the year is yours to spend at school, around the yard and at home, revisiting the places and small moments of childhood.

The neighborhood

Explore a setting of paneled five-story buildings, faded carpets on the walls, shell garages and poplar fluff in the entryway. The neighborhood includes a dusty playground with a rickety swing and rusty spider-web climbing wall, a grocery store with an iron door and bell, and a construction site behind the houses that you are not supposed to enter.

Spend the day

At school, wake up during the last lesson, raise the chairs one last time, write wishes or draw on the blackboard, and race your best friend on the way out. In the yard, play hide-and-seek and hopscotch, score a goal and poke around the garages.

At home, have soup, watch cartoons, burn on the board, play Snake on an indestructible phone, revisit Tetris and take apart a matryoshka doll. The day ends with meeting your parents and hugging them tightly.

Atmosphere and music

Dynamic lighting follows the full day, while the soundscape and interior details draw on photographs and memories. Original music is styled for the era, with a guitar from the next window, a tape recorder on the windowsill and a radio playing in the kitchen. There are no monsters or weapons; the game centers on imagination and the impression of a happy childhood.
