The Eternal Fool

A poetic adventure game about nostalgia, the death of faith, and the relentless feeling of Toska.
The year is 1996. Four friends gather under cloudy skies in a forgotten graveyard, united by a shared past and the memory of a man who vanished from their lives a decade ago. His name was Avoir Cafard. All he left behind was a Blue Book, filled with fragments of his past. Avoir lived in the decaying Soviet port city of Tishgorod, a place where sorrow clung to the air and life moved in a slow, unrelenting rhythm. Yet, within this bleak landscape, he tried to find a sense of purpose. A quiet confidant in Father Iov’s parish, he offered solace to the broken, including these four, whose lives he changed forever. Now, standing at his memorial, a question hangs heavy in the air: How do they remember him? Was he a guide, a friend, a mystery? Or was he something else entirely? A mirror reflecting truths they dared not face? The Blue Book remains. Its pages waiting to be opened. And with it, the story of Avoir Cafard, and the lives he touched, begins to unravel.
