I turned in all my tenants and committed murder for an extra day's living. Feel like shit, but I suppose it was for the greater good. TEAR DOWN THAT CITADEL

Addictive gameplay loop that is simple to pick up and increasingly stressful to perfect. Featuring a lot of genuine comedy to make the hopeless moral decisions more tolerable, the game never veers into full despair. Still, in an era of increasing surveillance, decreasing rights, and no clear path forward, this game feels both retro and depressingly ahead of its time. The way an authoritarian governments begins whittling down rights, from drug use and free speech, to apples and blue ties, is particularly effective in (current year). Still, the most important thing is that the game is fun and replayable. And while some decisions feel 'unfair' that is the nature of the beast, and the game is short enough that you never feel truly shafted for an unforseen consequence.

Jak dla mnie, jedna z najlepszych gier, jakie miałem okazje zagrać. Ścieżka dźwiękowa, jak i fabuła to same plusy tej gry, chodź i fabuła dobra to niestety krótka.

Very realistic simulator of the Russian life, reality and society.

A fun little experience, pick up on sale though definitely not worth $14. Difficult in the beginning and unapologetic about it, fits with the theme though and I found it fair once I got the hang of things. Can be quite hectic and some of the decisions were engaging enough. Got the regular ending and was satisfied enough. Won't be doing any of the others. Screw the political truck section though. If your game encourages me to mute all of my damn audio just to not listen to it, I would not necessarily call that a good idea.

I bought this game 5 years ago and stopped playing because of pandemic craziness. But I finally picked it up again and finished it this year. I highly recommend a guide to help with figuring out strategy and how you want to explore the many options/consequences in the game.

One of my favorite indie games out there. Great story, great characters and unique gameplay.

I didn't expect to kill or to be killed in a game like this. I'm merely a landlord. How could I possibly be killing almost every tenants in my building? This game has a dark sense of humor. DLC Blissful Sleep is epic, a must buy. Can someone please lock [spoiler]Khan[/spoiler] up? This person has to be the state most wanted criminal. Blackmailing your tenants is your main source of income. It is an interesting concept but may feel repetitive later in game. This is my only complaint. I wish there were more ways to earn money. Overall, I had a good time playing.
