ASPIS

Beyond reality A Soviet machine was built to predict history. But ASPIS was not a simulation — it was a bridge to a place where familiar laws no longer apply.

TRAILER / COMING SOON

The first descent

The final trailer is still behind the institute’s sealed doors. Its place is already waiting.

01 / PROTOCOL

The machine did not reveal the future

Soviet Union, 1987. Six volunteers are immersed in ASPIS. Engineer Andrey is one of them. Hoping to see his late wife and daughter again, he enters the depths of the World of Dreams — where a personal story becomes part of something far greater.

01 / EXPLORE

The Institute and OGAS

Collect documents, reconstruct the experiment and search for a way further in.

02 / SURVIVE

Horror and pursuit

In certain episodes, danger will force you to hide, run and make split-second decisions.

03 / ACT

PEP-01 and combat

Manipulate energy, solve spatial puzzles and, when you have to, defend yourself with your fists and a Makarov pistol.

02 / GUIDES

He knows why you came

The Director leads Andrey deeper, promising answers. The Cat helps him read the rules of this place. And during one of the most intense chapters, the Guardian turns the corridors into a hunt where sometimes the only choice is to run.

04 / SYSTEM

Fear changes the rules

01

Exploration

The institute, OGAS archives and impossible spaces tell a story without easy answers.

02

PEP-01

Manipulate energy, activate machinery and reshape the space around you.

03

Chases and stealth

Quick thinking, agility and a little courage will help you survive the chases, stay hidden and break away at the right moment.

04

Combat

Gradually, the Makarov pistol and your own fists become vital means of survival — but they never make the fear disappear.

05 / RECOGNITION

ASPIS has already made its mark

The demo inspired hundreds of player comments and impressions online — across social media, gaming communities and creator coverage. That response helped the project grow in both scale and focus.
