A short, straightforward and bitersweet story about a real incident that took place in the USSR during the 1970's.

Very low budget, limited interactivity, repetitive, spotty translation and okay-wish graphics. Where the game really shines, though, is in its ambiance. Bright Lights at Svetlov takes place mostly inside an apartment and it's evident the developer took great care into building an accurate depiction of a 1980's Soviet household. It feels like peeking through a window to the past.
