Students from the Cyberian Lynx team at Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a unique computer game called "Hidden Soul", based on the folk folklore of Ancient Russia. The game focuses on the mythological character Koschei the Deathless, who is the main character. In the story, Koschei, along with the Magi, fights against the dark forces that have escaped from the underworld. In the course of the game, he gathers an army of mythological characters to return the spirits to their kingdom.
One of the key features of the game is the use of artificial intelligence technologies developed by the students themselves. These technologies make the behavior of non-player characters as realistic as possible, and also ensure the development of the game world even without the participation of the player, thanks to the immersive sim system. This adds greater flexibility to the game, and also allows players to make morally significant decisions, such as choosing allies from mythological creatures - for example, the Leshy or the goddess of death Mara.
The project has already received support from the Foundation for Assistance to Innovations, which has allocated a grant of 1 million rubles for its implementation. The game is currently in the demo version development stage for demonstration to potential investors.
