The game is set in an alternate world where the collapse of the USSR did not happen, and instead the country, having passed through the era of stagnation, began a rapid development that gave the people of the Union a world that Soviet sci-fi writers dreamed of: space travel became an everyday occurrence, education and medicine became a model for the whole world, and unique engineering solutions from the pages of futuristic novels began to be implemented in cities.

The protagonist, Sergei, is a Soviet student who has just enrolled in the rocket and space engineering faculty of the country's main university. Sergei's parents went missing during an accident on the space station Zarya; he was just a child then, and any details of what happened remained a government secret.
