If you want to start the game from scratch, you can expect a revised tutorial to make your start easier.
The game is designed with a strong focus on realism and is being developed by a former lieutenant in the Finnish army who has been working in the gaming industry for over a decade.
The development of Road to Vostok is documented on a YouTube channel very transparently. The not-so-simple switch from Unity to the open-source engine Godot is also shown there.
In Road to Vostok, you play individual, interconnected maps that increase in difficulty. If you cross the fortified border to Vostok at the transitions, a permadeath feature kicks in. If you die in this zone, you lose everything – and we really mean the entire game save – and you have to start over from the beginning.
