Mayak is a hand-drawn linear adventure exploring humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence through hard science fiction concepts grounded in real research and classic literature.
In Mayak you’ll investigate signals from Beta of the Fox transmitting descending prime numbers suggesting an intelligent countdown with unknown purpose. The narrative examines how civilizations might encode interstellar messages, plausibility of deep space travel, and philosophical searches for meaning amid cosmic discovery. Every frame receives individual hand painted treatment using digital oil techniques inspired by impressionist painters and manga artists, with photo references of real people informing character artwork. Eight years of live recorded music featuring distant operatic vocals, strings, keys, and warm synths accompanies the atmospheric experience.
The linear structure offers one deliberate ending without branching choices as a core design decision. It alsp promises a genuine love story that develops between main characters through sincere dialogue, and strengthening under external pressure.
