Ukraine War Stories is a set of interactive visual novels about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Set in the early months of the war, it tells the stories of civilians struggling to survive on Russian-occupied territory. You will not be a fighter, only a survivor, and you will have to use courage and resourcefulness to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

The game is based on real events, with each novel dramatizing eyewitness accounts and real events recorded in the area. The gameplay is text-based and accompanied by music and illustrations, with the art coming from authentic war photographs taken in the areas where the stories take place.

The full game is completely free (no in-app purchases, etc) + a free Demo is available until the full game is released. The developers are from Ukraine, and they are working from their office despite the wartime conditions. They wanted to share the recent experiences of the people of Ukraine with a worldwide audience.

The game includes three interactive novels about some of the first towns that were hit during the invasion: Hostomel, Bucha, and Mariupol. In each story you will play a civilian, completely outmatched against the invading Russians. Your only task is to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, and escape with your lives.

• Hostomel - On Feb 24, 2022 Ukrainians woke up to the sound of air raid sirens and rocket strikes. A massive Russian airborne attack upon the outskirts of Kyiv followed. The town of Hostomel was among the first targets. As a retired aviation engineer, Oleksiy Borisov is not equipped to handle the challenges of the war. In this role, you will have to manage your survival resources, and take care of your group's emotional needs.
• Bucha - After a week of intense fighting, the North-Western outskirts of Kyiv fell to the Russians on Mar 5, 2022. Yarik Kravchenko and his sister Vika came to Bucha to wait out the assault on Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. In this story, you will be the most vulnerable in the face of the war. You will face tough choices, and a happy outcome will not be assured.
• Mariupol - In the 8 years of the war, the city of Mariupol had already fallen under attack before. Dima Kornienko is a talented surgeon and a native of Mariupol. When the war comes to his city once more, he finds himself on the frontline along with other medics. In this story, hard choices will have to be made — choices nobody can make for you. To save as many as you can, you must keep track of your hospital's readiness and your own mental state.
