Loretta on Steam
Hello!
My name is Yakov Butuzov, and I am an indie game developer. I would like to present to you a game that I have been working on - Loretta.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1592540/Loretta/
Loretta is a psychological thriller that would make the player an accessory to the heroine’s crimes and would lead her through a self-crafted nightmare.
This story is about a woman, dealing with betrayal, her husband’s infidelity, relationships problems and difficult social situation of the 1940s.
Conceptually and aesthetically, the game is inspired by the American art of the twentieth century, the works of Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, film noir of the 40s-50s, thrillers by Alfred Hitchcock, the Philip Ridley movie "The Reflecting Skin", the books "1922" by Stephen King and "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov.
Loretta is a story-driven adventure game in which gameplay focuses on choosing phrases in dialogue, interacting with objects, and making decisions: planning the murder and getting rid of the evidence.

I released my previous game DOM RUSALOK without a publisher, and got positive feedback from both journalists and players. Also, it gave me an opportunity to gather a small, but loyal audience.
Despite having studied epidemiology, I soon realized that I wish to dedicate my life to game development.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
Yakov Butuzov
