What has been will be again

Then Fedya picked up a hammer.
He said there was someone in the wall.

“All my conscious life I only ever chose doors that were already ajar.
This time I made an exception”

Genre

A mystical visual novel
A quiet, unsettling story. Yes, there are jump scares.

In-game shot: Egor in a room, choosing what to say — talk to Vera, or do it all behind her back

Make your choices

Spatula or crowbar. Tell your wife, or keep it from her.
The game remembers every choice.

In-game shot: Vera, Fedya and the investigator in a room, the investigator speaking

Three cases in one folder

A newspaper clipping from the days of the Romanovs. An official memo from 1946. A chronicle of the nineties.
Three stories — and every one of them leads to the same address.

Mini-games

Tanks on an old games console — together with Fedya.

About the game

Oil painting, full voice acting, four episodes, multiple endings

In-game shot: Egor and Alik driving through Saint Petersburg, the view from the car

An oil-painting style

St Isaac’s in the windscreen, wet granite, the courtyards of Razdolnaya Street.
The visual style is woven from brushstrokes and oil paint.

In-game shot: hands dragging a desk in a small secret room

A finished story

The script is written to the very last full stop — all four episodes.
The ending already exists.
All that’s left is to live long enough to reach it.

In-game shot: a morgue corridor

Not just the apartment

An asylum, a morgue, the streets of Saint Petersburg, little vodka bars, other people’s apartments.

Soundtrack

OLOID soundtrack cover: a guitar by a window looking out on autumn Saint Petersburg

The music of OLOID is a solo acoustic guitar and nothing more. Composer TLENUM recorded a soundtrack that sounds like old Petersburg in autumn.

Locations

The game has many locations — here are only a few

Who’s making it

A producer, a writer, artists, a developer and a composer.
All of us love Saint Petersburg dearly. Well courtyards, wet granite, stairwells that smell of other people’s dinners, windows that stay lit late into the night.
We carried that love into the game with care — brushstroke by brushstroke.

Developed by Mazkof Games.

The script is finished. All of it, right up to the finale of the fourth episode.
The first episode is fully voiced in Russian, and the English version plays as text over the original voices.
This is how the game sounds:

Questions

The door is already ajar

Is it horror? Are there jump scares?

No, it’s a mystical novel — but yes, there are jump scares.
The fear here is quiet: a hammer, wallpaper, the meters in the hallway — and a few sudden moments we honestly warn you about.

When is it coming out?

Episode I comes out in October 2026 on iOS and VK Play. Steam and Google Play are coming soon.
The door is already ajar.

Is the game available in English?

Yes. Episode I is fully translated into English: every line and choice, the interface, the glossary and the achievements. Pick the language in Settings.
The voice acting stays in Russian, with the English text on screen.

How much does it cost?

199 ₽ per episode. There are four episodes in all.

How long is an episode?

About 3–4 hours — an evening or two of unhurried reading.
There’s no need to rush: the apartment has waited a hundred and twenty years, it can wait for you too.

Will it run on my device?

On PC the game doesn’t need a graphics card — it will run even on an old laptop.
iPhone requirements are listed on the App Store page.

Is there a mobile version?

Yes. Episode I comes out on iOS in October, and an Android version is coming soon.
