We are glad to welcome all those who have been waiting for Kujlevka for a long time (and others too)! Happy news for all of us Kujlevka is coming out in April, 2023. Hooray, comrades! [previewyoutube=Xb8P0vEHK78;full][/previewyoutube]

[previewyoutube=rOjABeovStQ;full][/previewyoutube] Kujlevka is not only a variable story, the course of events of which changes from your decisions but also a whole anthology of the era that will immerse you in the atmosphere of the 90s and introduce you to the multipolarity of opinions. It is the player who is destined to determine what place is assigned not only to main character and his comrades, but also to the entire human species.

[previewyoutube=GQ1OJqJ8FDc;full][/previewyoutube] In the unremarkable village of Kujlevka, a variable story unfolds about the search for people's place in the universe, and it does not matter what scale it is: interstellar, planetary, state or village. It is the player who is destined to determine what place is assigned not only to our main character and his comrades, but also to the entire human species. In this video, you will find out under what circumstances the first contact occurred and on whose shoulders the entire burden of responsibility for the course of this long-awaited meeting fell.

Every traveler who happened to pass through Kujlevka would inevitably find more than the little that can be expected from an ordinary post-Soviet village. At first glance, nothing is unusual: farm animals, gardens, moonshine... However, Kujlevka is much more than just an average village... [previewyoutube=UlCvGuElvIY;full][/previewyoutube]
