Return to Kurgansk

Return to Kurgansk is a VR survival horror game set in a post-Soviet world after an energy disaster. The lands around Kurgansk are infected and cursed, and the locals have lost their minds. After arriving there by mistake, you must find a way back while hundreds of monsters stand in your way. A stranger gives you instructions over a walkie-talkie, but their trustworthiness is uncertain.

Explore the zone

The vast world changes when night falls. Monsters roam the deserted village streets, while dangerous anomalies appear in abandoned cemeteries. You can investigate an abandoned military base and fight monsters in underground bunkers, uncovering clues about the zone along the way. Radio transmissions may contain spoken number combinations, and you can find documents about an unknown virus and drawings of pagan rituals.

Anomalies can be invisible, fly, lie in wait, and kill with fire or electricity. They are also sources of valuable artifacts that can help you survive.

Survive and craft

You gather supplies and hunt, then use resources carefully to craft tools, weapons and equipment. VR interaction and combat are adapted for VR devices, while surround sound and visuals convey when your character is hungry, injured or starting to go crazy.

You can fight monsters bare-handed or throw rusty cans, or craft weapons such as an electric-saw mace powered by Soviet-era batteries and W-shaped transformer plates for stealthy kills. Death is not the end in Kurgansk.
