Katyusha

Katyusha is a 2D Platform/RPG with pixel art graphics, devoted to the popular character named in the original Soviet song, written by Mikhail Isakovsky and composed by Matvei Blanter in 1938. A character that has never been seen introduced before in a movie or video game, Katyusha was Soviet Union's most popular song in World War II as it was encouraging soldiers between battles, even though it was released before WWII.

Her boyfriend advises her to leave and save her life. Katyusha leaves but her feelings won't let her abandon her boyfriend. She wants to find him. So she decides to leave on the east and join the Soviet army. That would be her only hope of finding him back one day.
