Kommissar Reviews

I wanted to give this a chance, considering I love dystopian atmospheres and totalitarian gameplay (papers please, beholder etc). As far as I can tell, development has ceased completely with not a single update for well over a year. What a shame.

I can't recommend this game is not playable not even as an early access game. Core game play does not work and there are a lot of game breaking bugs and most of content missing from the game. I played this game 2017 and there haven't been any updates for this game in 3 years. So this game can be rated as abandoned. There used to be news sections, but developers probably removed all news to hide the fact that they stopped developing this game years ago. Most of what is said about this game development in that early access report information is truthful about state of development and estimated times delivering game. I very rarely post negative reviews about the game, but I feel in this case it can't be avoided. How this game is sold could be also seen as misleading customer with false information witch is not legal in many countries this is not normal early access. Valve should take this game down an refund everybody who have bought this.

Could be Good in future I do believe this game can become great and lead to a great success, but at its current state it is figity, and has not enough content to keep a person on entertained. It is very slow game and appears to be inspired by Papers, please. It lacks the fast past excitment of Papers, please. Papers, please is defined by its balance of managing family, food, and how fast and accuratly you can process paper work. This game however has no time limit and is not required to process anything. You can sit there with paper work on your desk forever and with no reason to do it, I don't see the point in playing. There is no edge in this game. At its current state I do not reccomend buy it. I will decide my the status of this review as the builds progress.

It's been dead for months now. no updates, and no addition to the confusing and buggy gameplay. avoid.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. The developers are not updating what is essentially a poorly-written, mismatched and confusing pre-pre-pre-Alpha game. This "game" should never have seen the light of day yet, and I fear the developers have taken our money and ran.

Love the idea of this game, but it has a lot of problems that even a pre-alpha version shouldnt have. The games code dosent insert the color of eyes, gender, or any details of people you interogate, which nobody seems to have found yet. Also the grammar is god awful. I would most defiently recommend that you wait until this game is fully realesed before you give it a go. (Really it shouldnt even be on Steam at all...)

As others have said, no updates in 6 months and the game really isn't playable. Loved the concept, but I think we got cheated.

I just dabbled around in it a bit, and this game is in dire need of a day-one patch at the moment... scripting is incomplete and often breaks into glitches, forbidding you from progressing through the tutorial. TL;DR: Clearly not finished right now, from a clearly broken programming standpoint. I had one of these when I was asked to place the officer on the district map, and another one in the interrogations following that step. Right now, whatever is enabling interaction in the interface is way too easy to break and accidentally bug out. Another few things I noticed: 1. The District desciptions are glitched out - it just has a few placeholders at the bottom, possibly to accomodate new GUI - still, doesn't look polished, finished or good. 2. Interrogations bug out when you try to ask people if they've been somewhere with someone. This is really annoying as the first case you get is likely to require that same indicator to solve it, and you don't get that information supplied to you on a document. 3. The writing of the interrogations is stiff, generic and slightly off. I get that it's something that happens when you have to randomize events to a certain extent, but it's not impossible to rephrase sentences. 4. Typos. They're everywhere, and range from single misplaced letters to whole sentences being knocked out of their meaning due to one word being illegible. I might just be too adamant about that point because I personally really value good grammar and spelling, but if you don't know how a word is spelled - I encourage you to look it up, it's free and learning things is never bad. After three attempts at this, I guess this game is so far unplayable and needs to be ironed over a good dozen times in the tutorial before it's actually enjoyable, but the concept is still nice and feels hands-on. I'd really want to see this game become something like "Papers, Please" that I can look back at in my library and smile about in good memory. As it stands, this "first encounter" has been more disappointing than a postponed release. Love is in the Hair, not right now - but perhaps in the future.

The game needs a lot of work, from simple things like bugs and graphical glitches to large things like story inconsistencies, proper english, a proper tutorial and a better gameplay. The fact that the last update happened on May gives me very little hope for the future of this game. Of course, something may have happened to the Dev, and i wouldn't blame them for it, but be aware of how regular the updates really are when buying this game by taking this in mind. With that being said, the idea is quite interesting, and although it did remind me of "Papers, Please", It offered what i think is a fresh take in the "Be a government employee in a Dystopian Environment/Country" genre. Still, i wouldn't recommend purchasing it now, not even in a sale. Perhaps a couple of updates from now i might reconsider my opinion.

I cannot currently recommend purchasing this game even as an early access. The game is fun and it has a great concept behind it, however, this game is not nearly ready for public access even under early access. I can overlook the broken English and misspellings which are rife throughout the game as this is early access. The main reason I cannot recommend this is that the clues they give you to solve the puzzles are mismatched. They will say you are looking for a female suspect. Then all of the evidence and witnesses talk about it being a large man, and it turns out that it is a small woman. With discrepancies like that in the game it is really had to follow the narrative or solve the puzzles since the clues are bad.
