Slava and the Wolf

"He discovers he has an unnecessary heart.

It no longer beats, only shudders. It cannot be repaired. There is nothing to do but to throw it away. He can never be happy, but he goes on, deeper and deeper, and all is black, pitch black, still, and nothing."

Slava and the Wolf is an atmospheric game exploring the oppressive thoughts of a man who wishes to go to sleep and never wake up at the same time he longs to wander the winter woods. As he observes people and objects representing fragments of his life, he comes to face the contradictions of his darkest desires. Yet even as they are so near to him, he can no longer reach out and grasp them.

• Walk through a winter dream and a blizzard of persistent, repetitive thoughts.
• Actively observe objects and people to learn more about them.
• Drift into one of four different endings, each representing a facet of Slava's character.
• Experience the chaotic yet tranquil mind of a severely depressed soul.
