Card design made for clube's napkin cube inspired by Mitski's song A Burning Hill
Platform: PC
Genre: Point-and-Click, Science fiction
Estimated year of release: 2000s
Graphics/art style: cheap realistic art-style of early 2000s graphics. Backgrounds were plain cgi renders or photoshopped images. Humans were 3D models (if I remember correctly). Menu was something like picrel. The overall atmosphere of the beginning levels was gloomy and cloudy. The perspective was in a first-person.
Notable characters: I honestly can't remember any character. The main character is male. There were other at least 2 other male characters.
Notable gameplay mechanics: can't think of any notable mechanics aside from plain interacting with objects of interest. Not even sure if it had inventory. The movement was done by clicking the edges of the screen, iirc the cursor turned into an arrow corresponding to the direction.
Other details: I played game in Russian and there's a high chance it was made by Russian developers—Russian game industry in 2000s was dominated by point-n-click adventures called 'Quests'.
The beginning was on some island/cliff area covered in clouds. There (iirc) were water surrounding the area. Could also be some hut.
I remember being stuck on some part in a location and I called my dad. I don't remember what he told me to do, but it was something trivial. I then exited the location by clicking on the bottom edge. Then something plot-related would happen, a phone-call (could be my memories mixing up me calling my dad) or some other interaction, but it was voiced.
The MC gets kidnapped/transported/time traveled/teleported into some kind of cell (? picrel 2) and after that I don't remember anything.
I couldn't get past the beginning area cuz I was scared of it as a kid.
The time-travel thing could also be a memory mix-up with Mushroom Age, another Russian point-n-click game I was scared of.
