Get Up, Man!

Kolya ended up somewhere he definitely wasn't supposed to be.

Now he has to make his way through a strange world, reach the Moon, and somehow find his way back home.

Sounds simple enough. The problem is, Kolya is a ragdoll.

FOUR LIMBS

Control Kolya's arms and legs separately.

Grab, push, throw, and try to get somewhere a normal person could simply walk to.

A WORLD WHERE SOMETHING HAS CLEARLY GONE WRONG

Minibuses can fly.

Robots have long since become part of everyday life.

Khrushchyovka apartment blocks, familiar technology, and ordinary everyday life look as if someone tried to build the future out of memories of the past.

THINGS THAT TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE

You don't travel between universes through portals here. Sometimes an ordinary object is enough.

The rule seems simple enough: whatever gets you in is supposed to get you back out.

The problems start when the next way through takes you somewhere you really didn't want to go.

THE VOICE BEHIND IT ALL

Kolya doesn't talk. The narrator does that for him.

He comments on what's happening, takes note of Kolya's more remarkable decisions, and sometimes seems to know a little more about what's going on than he probably should.

Will that help Kolya? Not necessarily.
