Cradle
Cradle is a sci-fi first-person-view quest designed for the player to explore the surrounding world. The story is built around the relations of the protagonist and a mechanical girl who by quirk of fate found themselves amidst the desert. The player’s task is to repair the mechanical body of his companion and solve the mystery of the neglected entertainment park located not far from the yurt together. Key Features Open World. Explore the mysterious and stylish world of the robotized Mongolia. Search the yurt, take a stroll down the river or head towards the entertainment park – this game has no fences you cannot overcome. Living Characters. Communicate with NPCs. Owing to non-standard emotion display technology where actor eyes video is used, the NPCs in Cradle look as ‘live’ ones.

To play this game I had to dig up my old laptop, because on my current gaming PC I got crazy stutters (the cause of which I still don't know see my UPD). However, I'm so happy I did! Even with lowered graphics and frame drops it was still an experience which will stick with me for long.
The emotional afterglow left by this game... I haven't experienced since I was a child.
UPD (IMPORTANT): finally! I found the issue with game freezes every 7 seconds or so (even in the menu). The reason was that game was polling all the USB devices and it didn't like my HyperX QuadCast micro... so I just disconnected it and freezes where gone. If you have same problem (graphic settings unrelated) - just disconnect all the USB devices other than mouse and keyboard (and if it helps connect them back one by one to find the culprit).

I have kind of deja vu with this game because I'm not sure if I already played it years ago or not... it seems kinda familiar though and not sure why but it reminds me of Syberia games.

I am currently in the process of playing. I really enjoy the atmosphere of the steppe and the emptiness around me. I was especially surprised and pleased by the opportunity to explore every corner of my house, where there is a lot of information about the game's world. The storytelling is very well-paced and not stressful. The story itself is quite interesting. There are some moments in the game that seem illogical, but this is more likely due to poor implementation of the idea. The voice acting is simply wonderful. Most of the objects are interesting to examine and are well-made. Thanks to the developers for their work.

Cooking a meal for Ongots was the best part of the game. Then a woman woke up and ruined the day.

The story itself is pretty interesting, but im not a fan of the minigame levels and their achievements. But overall pretty nice and rather fun to play. The voice acting and the whole ambience is really well done and cool. All in one a pretty nice game. I can really recommend it

Visually great, even today. Pacing is rushed but it's a really interesting world and story.

Interesting story(alternative future), authentic culture of real people. I like such setting/
