Дорога Жизни

The Road of Life

In the winter of 1942, trucks crossed frozen Lake Ladoga to bring food and other vital supplies to besieged Leningrad. The ice route became known as the Road of Life, and you are one of its drivers. Your job is to get the cargo through safely, but the people you meet along the way will also depend on your choices.

The Ice Beneath Your Wheels

You have to find your own way across the lake. Ice ridges and stretches of open water block the path, and blizzards can cut visibility to a few meters. You will pass wrecked trucks along the route, left by drivers who never reached the shore.

Breakdowns Are Yours to Fix

The game doesn’t tell you what’s wrong with the truck. You read the gauges in the cab to understand its condition. If the engine dies in the middle of the lake, you have to climb out into the cold and fix it yourself. Remember that spare parts are limited.

Under Attack

Enemy aircraft appear overhead, and your first goal is to survive the attack and keep driving. If you can’t evade them, you’ll have to shoot back.

Your Choices Shape People’s Lives

On the Road of Life, you’ll meet drivers, traffic controllers, mechanics and soldiers. Some of them need your help, and with others you’ll have to find common ground. Your words affect how people treat you, and your actions can change how their stories end.

Based on Real Accounts

We worked with archival documents and the memoirs of people who were there. The story episodes are built on these sources, and each character brings together the experiences of several real people.
