Saving a young beautiful princess, exposing a state conspiracy, becoming part of the assault on a powerful fortress, and then—sabre drawn—charging on horseback into the enemy’s ranks: all of that is wonderful if you’re a gamer testing a brand-new quest based on historical events of the 16th century—the war between the Principality of Moscow and the Polish-Lithuanian alliance. But after a while, the tester—former Russian Federation Airborne Forces major Denis Nasonov—starts to realize that around him isn’t a virtual reality, but “real past” in which Smolensk has already been taken, and the battle of Orsha is ahead. The game’s “hot keys” don’t work, so to reach the finale you’ll have to go the long way. Will Denis be able to make it through the long journey awaiting him—where blood, betrayal, and the gallows lie in his path?
