An isolated village during the war. Men leave one by one, along the winding forest path painted crimson by distant fires, and do not return. Young Nadia becomes a part-time postwoman filling in for her sick mother. She is now a messenger of hope and of trouble.

«Grief like a stray dog» is a short interactive play about a young postwoman in a tight-knit rural community. In the outside world, WW2 rages at its apex. Nadia is thirteen. She delivers papers, letters. And death notifications to families of those killed in action.

Nadia’s character is based on the author’s grandmother. Inspired by tales of a childhood spent in a village near Rzhev, not far from one of the most brutal battlefields of the Eastern Front, most of the character arcs and plot points are based on war stories told by older relatives and locals; many letters are real.

The main visual inspirations for the game were kid’s drawings, neo-expressionism, Russian lubok art and Soviet book illustration

«Grief like a stray dog» is a meditation on war, community and human fate — part documentary, part Russian folk tale.

Features:

- A visual novel with elements of an adventure game.

- A rich and touching story based on memories and Russian folk tales.

- Author's 2D graphics.

- Disturbing and unusual soundtrack.

- Capacious and authentic dialogues.

- Duration: 60-80 minutes.

- A village populated by picturesque characters.

Grief like a stray dog Platinum

Good job! Completed all tasks!

Grief like a stray dog is an adventure game developed by Rayonist and published by Sometimes You.

In terms of trophies, it is an easy game which can be completed in around 1 hour:

• The game is quite straightforward, you need to go at the beginning of the day to the post office, pick up the letters and deliver them, then when you finish return to your house to end the day.

• You will have to play 2 walkthroughs, because from time to time you will have some choices. Only 2 of the choices matter, but I am not going to list them here, I will just tell you to always go with choice 1 in your first walkthrough, then in the second walkthrough always go with choice 2.

• In your first walkthrough make sure to click each new day on the red dog to make him bark and on the hill to listen to the story.

• When you deliver the second letter to the abandoned house you will find a toy. Play with the toy left and right until you earn the trophy.

• While searching for your brother, click multiple times on the barrel and on the cat until you earn the 2 trophies.

• After being chased by the dog in the forest, make sure to click on axe, bird corpse, fire pit and tank tracks to earn another trophy. They will appear in a random order.
