ШХД: ЗИМА / IT'S WINTER is a deliberately restrained and introspective interactive work that challenges traditional expectations of what a video game should offer. Developed by ИЛЬЯМАЗО with technical support from sad3d and published by ИЛЬЯМАЗО, the project positions itself closer to an experiential art piece than a conventional game. It asks very little of the player mechanically, yet demands a great deal...
Negative review only because you should not play this unless you already know what're you doing, and who needs reviews otherwise. This is not a game.
