## About This Game
One Spirit is a coming-of-age visual novel set in an alternate timeline where
the Cold War drags on into the 21st Century. Exploring various political,
cultural and philosophical themes, the game presents an engaging, thought-
provoking thriller through the eyes of its everyday characters, their
struggles and hopes.

In 2003, the Iron Curtain stands tall. The superpowers of the new age wage a
silent war through the means of information, economy, culture and proxy. As
the Cold War slows to a crawl, the Republic of Sysica, a Western satellite
state in Eastern Europe, finds itself on the verge of political death as
violence, misery and war loom over its head.

One Spirit follows Yuri Danilin, an 18-year-old young man disenchanted with
life, as he returns to his modest hometown in Nevilyovsk, Eastern Sysica.
Having failed in his studies at the capital, he reunites with his sister
knowing their time apart has changed both permanently. When news of a known
local activist disappearing spread through the town, Yuri soon finds himself
at the center of a dangerous game of truths.
