Stories and settings

In Return of Red Riding Hood, New Adventures, a sequel to Return of Red Riding Hood, Red Riding Hood and her mother bake pastries with ham, sorrel and cottage cheese while getting into ridiculous, funny situations. Am I a Monster? follows someone who has become a werewolf and must discover whether they are a monster or a human, as the beast inside them grows.

In Returning of the Quantum Cat, you play a forester whose cat, Barsik, has been abducted. The search leads to a strange institute, where you try to help save him. The Watch follows a 48-hour shift aboard the starship Pilgrim, which is travelling to Gliz 667c on a journey expected to take dozens of years; while one crew member stands watch, the others remain in cryosleep.
