STORY
You are Art Billy — a professional billiards player with a sharp smirk and a knack for getting into trouble.
On your way from New York to Kryzhopol, you end up in Kozyulsk — a place where things quickly spiral into something far stranger. What begins as a simple stop turns into a journey through smoky clubs, risky bets, and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Kozyulsk proudly calls itself the capital of world billiards — and somehow, it lives up to it. Punks and politicians, shady figures and bizarre personalities, underground tournaments and absurd encounters — every step pulls you deeper into its strange, unpredictable world.
You start with just $50 in your pocket. Your goal is simple: earn $500 and make your way to the grand final at the Golden Goat club. How you get there is entirely up to you.
Provincial Player blends billiards simulation with light adventure elements into something unusual and surprisingly cohesive. Most of your time is spent at the table, but every club has its own story, rules, and opportunities.
Talk to people. Listen carefully. Take risks.
Conversations unlock new paths, open up better matches, and shape your progress. Money comes and goes, but the right decision at the right moment can change everything.
This isn’t just about billiards. It’s about the atmosphere. A snapshot of the Russian late 90s — strange, rough, and full of character. A world where humor, absurdity, and unexpected depth goes hand in hand
This is the original 1999 version of the game, preserved without changes. For those who remember — and for those curious enough to find out why it’s still remembered.
