On Wednesday, May 21, 2026, it was reported that Russian developers launched a new computer game titled "Kuindzhi, 93". The game focuses on the story of 18-year-old Artem, who arrives in Mariupol on a humanitarian mission and finds himself in the heart of the fighting. According to the Readovka Telegram channel, known for its distinct pro-Russian stance, the plot is based on real stories from volunteers and soldiers and is intended to mark the fourth anniversary of the "liberation of Mariupol."
The game, defined as an interactive drama, is distributed for free on the Steam and VK Play platforms. According to the Kargach Telegram channel (Каргач 🇷🇺⚡️Ꙃ), which is also identified with a pro-Russian narrative, it is an "atmospheric miniature" set in March 2022. The author notes that although the game is short and narrative-focused, it has received positive reviews on the distribution platforms.
The production received significant support from official sources in Russia. According to Readovka, the publisher "Smysl Media," in collaboration with the "Young Guard of United Russia" movement, held a closed screening in Donetsk for participants who directly experienced the war events in the city.
In addition to the narrative aspect, the game stands out for its collaboration with well-known cultural figures in the Russian dubbing field, including Husky, Dima OM, and Evgeny Tsvetkov, who provided their voices for the characters. On both reported platforms, the game is highly rated by users, indicating its success among the local target audience in Russia.
