If you want English select middle option "настройки" at start, the language selection is at the bottom there. I liked this game, it's quite a slow game so a different pace than what I mostly play. I got it at 73% off so cheap. Doesn't take long to complete and easy to get 100% achievements if that's your thing.
This is actually a good game with a proper representation. When you start the game everytime is starting automatic in russian language & have to go to the settings & try to find and guess where to change the language to english. This should be fixed easily by asking the user to select language when is starting the game. The game have chapters with autosave, there is no manual save so if you need to stop playing & continue next time have to start over. If the dev will fix this 2 issues (which i doubt that it will do it if didnt do it in 5 years) the game is a must. I will try to finish it as it is & i recommend it !
The atmosphere is so accurately conveyed, I could practically smell the interiors as someone who doesn't quite remember Soviet '80s, but was conscious by the early '90s. The story is more emotionally impactful than those of many games that are exponentially longer. Well worth experiencing.
