"THE TRUTH IS THE ONLY DISEASE
THE STATE CANNOT CURE."

/// INCIDENT REPORT: THE CAPITAL, 1984

The Ministry of Security has declared a "Sanitary Lockdown." The streets are empty, and soldiers wait at every corner. Under the curfew, the silence is absolute.

You are Alexei. In the dim light of your apartment, you duplicate Samizdat,illegal literature that the State fears. Your only tool is an aging T-34 Typewriter, a machine as temperamental as the regime itself.

A new manuscript has arrived. To copy it, you must find supplies, repair your machine, and navigate a web of desperate neighbors. Trust no one. The revolution depends on your keys.


/// OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS

  • Atmospheric Tension: Experience the claustrophobia of a state lockdown in a immersive 3D environment.
  • Maintenance Mechanics: Locate spare parts and physically repair your T-34 Typewriter to keep the truth flowing.
  • High-Stakes Dialogue: Interact with neighbors like Pavel and Vasily. Choose your words carefully,every conversation has a price.
  • Moral Consequences: Will you threaten a desperate old man for medicine, or pay with money you don't have? Your choices define you.
HUD NOTICE:
> OBJECTIVE: Tracked in the Top Left.
> INVENTORY: Tracked in the Top Right.

I love the atmosphere, the music, and the voice acting—everything fits together perfectly. The art style conveys the emotions you're supposed to feel. And the soldier really made me nervous. You nailed it once again!

Thank you so much!^^ I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it^^

What confuses the ever loving hell out of me is how you've had the main menu Piano music throughout the entire gameplay XDD - Haven't been able to replicate that bug, ah, love game creation xd

Made this for my second game creation semester so seeing someone already enjoy it this much is amazing^^

Fun fact, I played it twice! Once, I didn't record, and the second time, I accidentally opened the game twice xD Which explains the music, haha. Of course! Glad to have found it! ~
