About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

You play as Faust, an agent of the secret organization Nostra Edemas. Using technology in time, you must bring to justice the brutal killers of the past - both known and real, atrocities remained in the shadows of history.

Russia, alternative 2000s.

In one of the old abandoned manors hidden deep within Russia, a secret order known as Nostra Edemas operates in the shadows. Thanks to a unique technology called the Chronotron—a legendary fusion of magic and science—their agents can travel through time to arrest and deliver justice to deviants: the most dangerous murderers of the past, both infamous and forgotten by history.

Cradle of Nightmares is the first episode in a gripping franchise with an original setting and a haunting atmosphere.

You will play as Vasiliy Beiner, a chronagent of the secret organization Nostra Edemas, known by his codename Faust 21. Your mission is to travel back in time to track, neutralize, and put on trial deviants whose crimes must be uncovered and avenged.

You will find yourself in the lair of a maniac, where you must explore dark environments, uncover key items, and solve intricate puzzles.
