ABOUT THIS GAME
Asya is ten years old. She wants to sail paper ships down the stream, play in the backyard with her friends all day and hurry home in the evening when Mom calls for dinner.
But Europe is engulfed in flames of World War II and millions of Europe people are taken away for forced labor in Germany. Asya and her mother are among them. After several unbearable months in a labor camp, Asya manages to escape. Her only destination — home.
Along the way, you will find:
- Levels in the spirit of classic adventure games. Remember, life was peaceful once, and brighter days still await you in the future.
- "Touching" mini-games. See the world through the eyes of a girl who was forced to grow up painfully quick.
- Platformer with stealth mechanics. Hide from soldiers and overcome obstacles in the harshest of weathers.
- First-person cinematic levels. Put yourself in Asya's shoes and face the danger.
Will you be able to keep hope alive and return to your homeland?
