Step into the exhausted world of a field medic during the Russian Civil War. As armies advance and retreat across a fractured country, you travel by crowded trains and frozen roads, treating wounded soldiers and sick civilians inside improvised medical stations.

With medicine, food, clean linen, and fuel in desperately short supply, care becomes an exercise in patience and improvisation. Beyond the walls, political slogans and shifting authorities compete for control. Inside, the priorities remain painfully simple: clean the wound, ease the fever, find water, and keep another human being warm through the night.

Settle in for a quiet, immersive journey through one of the most chaotic and devastating periods in Russian history.
