This game hit at the height of well written, well art directed, and well animated point-and-click adventures. And, well, this one is well done! Up there with the Lucas Arts library and Neverhood
One thing that I'll always defend about soviet union, it took animation as a medium of art and not just a Genre for childrens intertaininment.
Soviet animation had very small budgets but experimented with very unique styles.
I will forever grieve it's loss.
