CHARACTERS
CONCEPT
The narrative consists of five stories.
The main line is the story of the protagonist.
The other four are stories told by fellow travelers.
Going through each new story, the player connects
it with the previous one into a single whole.
As a result, a strange picture of reality appears in the protagonist's head,
which by morning takes on the density of the real world.
The world where the train will arrive.

The player's task is to explore the locations and, interacting with the environment, observe his character's reactions.

But keep true to yourself ― the main character is The Train.
Frustrain universe spans several time and space pivots.
Straight train set breaks up to turn the train into an embroiled labyrinth. Roomless places and corridors take shapes of night streets and then — back to the train again.

SOUND
Frustrain is a musical experience. Monologues and dialogues accompanied by a clatter of wheels and music turn the game into some peculiar industrial opera.
Soundtrack and sound effects will be contributed industrial stage group REUTOFF ― http://reutoff.su/

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
In 2021 our team (Pavel Pavlyukov as an artistic director, Dmitry Vorobyov as lead developer, Georgy Molodtsov as XR director and line producer) was invited to collaborate with Jean-Michel Jarre and VRROOM on OXYMORE Immersive musical experience, associated with the release of his new album, for which Pavel also designed visual style and cover.
Pavel was selected based on the visual concept of FRUSTRAIN, which fully fit the idea that Jean-Michel Jarre had in mind for his project.
We created a virtual metropolis, consisting of stylized vintage musical equipment, where Jean-Michel Jarre's live performances took place.
OXYMORE received various international awards and is listed as one recommended world in VRChat with over 250.000 visitors to date.
