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.
