There are 10 days left until the submission period for the All-Russian Interactive Stories Contest concludes. You can submit your game-novella until February 15, 2026, inclusive.

Dozens of entries have already been received in various nominations. The first projects that passed moderation:

1. "The Runesinger's Apprentice." A game in the style of the epic "Kalevala" featuring the live sounds of the folk instrument kantele. A complex choice system leads to different endings, immersing players in the world of Karelian runes.

2. "Flags Over the City. Young Guard." An interactive episode about the heroism of the young guardsmen, where many decisions are fatal. This is a deliberate technique that conveys the real risk and tension of 1942.

3. "Lermontov's Duel." An atmospheric story that leads players to different endings— from creative glory to disappointment— through choices and quotes from the poet.

These projects are created by schoolchildren, students, and educators. They demonstrate how games can be used to discuss culture and history, as well as important and complex topics.

If you have a ready or nearly ready work, now is the perfect time to make final adjustments and submit it for moderation. Don’t miss your chance to participate in the contest and present your story to a wide audience.
