It has simultaneous action - when you do, they do too.

Game is fun, also require a lot of polish. I think I encountered a bug, can't progress.

It looks like visual novell mostly.

Played just a bit over 1h, and it feels similar jank level to Encased. Combat is not too terrible, it's a decent mid-point between tb and rt.

The English translation feels a bit weak, and there's lots of posts on steam that GPT was used. Russian version is decent enough writing, though a lot of it feels disjointed somehow. The font chosen for text is horrible.

My biggest complaint is that this feels a bit like propaganda piece. Reading how Skolkovo invented this or that doodad found in the museum made me chuckle.

I would say it's good for what it is, especially at the price point of zero.

Yeah, it could feels like this, but also maybe as something inn the vein of Cybervillage? like how we - fabulosly optimistic - see the future. I mean it doesn't gives that clear vibe, but also not prop vibe too - something inbetween.

Well, it is Science Fiction game

This, but unironically. Let's be serious, any westoid SF slop also has inherent biases in how it portrays the future even if it doesn't do it in a blatant way. People are just (self-)conditioned to look past it more easily due to how common it is amongst the entertainment that they do regularly consume.

I see. I thought it was a joke about Duda's finger he lost while experimenting with unstable portal technology and then russians recovered it from another dimension and put it on display next to Rasputin's dick.

I like the first half of Encased a fair bit, so I'm definitely favourably inclined to try this out.

Tbh it looks like it's using some assets from Encased but that's no bad thing.

Expect me to be at least 2 weeks behind on Poland's funny goings. IMO, the best translation of doddad into Polish is wichajster, though it might be a Krakow thing.
