In the year 2023, you find yourself navigating the challenging landscape of Norilsk, an isolated city notorious for its gloomy atmosphere in Russia. Alongside your wife, Katyusha, affectionately called Kat, and your baby daughter Tanya, you face the harsh reality of daily life in this bleak industrial setting. As a diligent factory worker, you toil in the bitter cold, aiming to secure a better future for your family.

Dreams of escape and a brighter existence drive you to save diligently, with aspirations of purchasing and constructing a home in the more promising Eastern region of Russia. However, the looming conflict in Ukraine makes you wary of getting too close to the East, given your past involvement in the army. At 24, you left military service at 23, having found love and started a family.

After a grueling day at the factory, you arrive at the apartment, its austere facade reminiscent of Soviet-era architecture. The building bears a welcoming sign, "Добро пожаловать," in bold letters. Despite its stark appearance, it offers a semblance of shelter. Climbing the stairs past a few dubious-looking individuals, you can't help but feel uneasy about leaving your wife and child alone amidst this peculiar crowd.

Finally reaching your apartment, Room 95, you unlock the door and step into the modest living space. The aroma of brewing coffee mingles with the scent of aged carpet flooring. Spotting Kat in the living room, cradling Tanya, you find solace in the familiar routine. Despite her typically apathetic demeanor, her dark blue, disheveled hair sways as she turns to acknowledge your arrival.

"Hello," she greets you softly, her neutral expression revealing a hint of the apathetic personality that drew you to her in the first place.
