Belong Nowhere - A Surreal Body Horror Adventure with Lots of Horrible Ways to Die! (Alpha)

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Please note: Most of the ambient audio was added by me in the edit as the game is still in development and doesn't have any yet (so the ambient audio in the full game will be much better than my effort!). All the sound FX and music is from the actual game though. It's a pretty freaky game. Hope you like it! :)

I believe "Monogorsk" takes inspiration either from Norilsk or from Vorkuta. Huh, interesting moment - "Mono-gorsk" probably originated from "monogorod" - a town with only one major factory/industry, which is the core of it's entire economy. Everything else exists "in orbit" of that "big beast". P.S. Design of the creatures and locations strongly remind me about Soviet adult animation from 80s.

Also "Militsiya" is a term used by the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries during rhe same time period. Some former Soviet countries still use it occasionally but I think this game takes place during Soviet era.

[@mortimerwake2974]

@@azalago They specifically mention the flashlight being from the "Soviet era", meaning this is after the dissolution. That also makes much more sense because the level of decay depicted is more like what happened to Eastern Bloc countries after the USSR dissolved and all of their industries were privatized and their wealth was stripped by international corporations. That lead to a lot of abandoned factories and other such buildings left to just slowly fall apart.
