About
Horror adventure game for XR, PC, mobie and consoles where you will have to solve puzzles and dive into the stories of fellow passengers in a night train to solve the mystery about the reason you are running away and your own personality.
Impact
FRUSTRAIN is a metaphorical reflection on a state of mind of a displaced person who lost himself and pretend to be someone else. That's what many displaced people expience for the last 3 years since the beginning of Russian invasion.
Progress
The project was first made in 2020 and alpha gameplay was uploaded, praised by UploadVR, Unity and communities. In 2024 project was repitched in Annecy Festival and got an award. Development stuck in a funding so far
Team
We did OXYMORE for Jean-Michel Jarre using the art and creative style based on our project. OXYMORE gave us recognition and success, but we put years of our life in FRUSTRAIN and want it to be done to tell our stories of people who lost their home.
