About Grief Like a Stray Dog

Grief Like a Stray Dog is a short interactive play with visual novel and adventure game elements. You follow Nadia, a thirteen-year-old postwoman in a close-knit rural community during the height of World War II. She delivers newspapers, letters and death notifications to the families of soldiers killed in action.

Nadia and the village

Nadia is based on the author's grandmother, and the story draws on memories of childhood in a village near Rzhev, close to one of the Eastern Front's most brutal battlefields. Many plot points and character arcs come from war stories told by older relatives and local people, and many of the letters are real. The village is populated by distinctive characters, and the story combines documentary elements with Russian folk tales to reflect on war, community and human fate.

Art and dialogue

The game uses original 2D graphics inspired by children's drawings, neo-expressionism, Russian lubok art and Soviet book illustration. It features extensive, authentic dialogue and an unusual, disturbing soundtrack. A playthrough lasts 60–80 minutes.
