Description

Torn Away is an interactive adventure about a girl torn away from home. Asya is ten years old. She wants to sail paper ships down the stream, play in the backyard with her friends all day and hurry home in the evening when Mom calls for dinner. But Europe is engulfed in flames of World War II and millions of Soviet people are taken away for forced labor in Germany. Asya and her mother are among them. After several unbearable months in a labor camp, Asya manages to escape. Her only destination — home. Cross all of Germany and Poland to get to the homeland and help Asya reunite with her family. Features: Touching story inspired by the diaries of Soviet children about the hardships of wartime, told through the perspective of a little girl; An unfairly forgotten theme of the fate of “Ostarbeiters” — people, who were forcibly deported from Eastern Europe to work in Nazi labor camps; Visual language assembled from elements of socialist realism and modern French animation; 3D levels stylized as 2D art; Original soundtrack inspired by the music of Hayao Miyazaki’s movies, French New Wave cinema and experimental electronic music.
