Unfortunately, there is no English translation present, and even the documents (in a DOC file in the archive) have proven impossible... at least so far, for me... to translate.
I studied Russian decades ago, but honestly, with the fairly opaque user interface (combined with pixelation artifacts), and the fact that so much of the language used is... well... "uncommon in general usage"... I can't figure out how to do anything in this game.
So, I would encourage anyone who is natively fluent in Russian to give this a go, but probably no one else.
Additionally, I started up a game, twice, and both times, my character was trapped between impassable objects, with only a few on-screen map squares available. While there MAY be some way to get past those obstacles, I could not figure it out.
Recommended ONLY for those who (a) are serious problem-solvers, and (b) are native Russian speakers.
Now, if someone were to create a translated version of this (which seems not all that difficult, if you have the language skills and appropriate tools)... and if the issue I'm seeing with impassable regions is able to be overcome in-game... this COULD be entertaining. But it's not there yet.
