A Haunting Narrative Experience in Grief like a Stray Dog

Grief like a stray dog is a short interactive play that illuminates the quiet yet profound life of a young postwoman named Nadia in a rural community during the intensity of World War II. At just thirteen, Nadia delivers letters and newspapers, including the painful news of loved ones lost to the war. The game's narrative offers players a poignant exploration of community, grief, and the indelible impact of history.

Story Inspired by Personal Memories

The story of Nadia draws inspiration from real-life experiences shared by the author’s grandmother. Set against the backdrop of the brutal Eastern Front, the character arcs reflect the heavy memories captured in wartime letters and the folklore of Russian culture. The game becomes both a visual novel and a deeply personal exploration of loss, grounded in authentic historical stories told by older generations.
