  • The dialogues and plot are often criticized for being underwhelming, childish, and poorly translated, detracting from the overall experience.
  • Gameplay can feel tedious due to excessive backtracking and a lack of clear save points, leading to frustration.

  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story explores the tension between Soviet agricultural collectivism and the entrenched corruption of a colonial monarchy, offering a thought-provoking premise. However, the execution suffers from childish dialogue, an abrupt ending, and a lack of depth in character development, leaving players wanting more. While the visuals are praised, the gameplay and narrative structure detract from the overall storytelling experience.

    • “The clash between the Soviet agricultural workers' attitude of collective enterprise, a notion introduced to a post-revolutionary society, and a corrupt labor-value dynamic that the colonial monarchy institutionalized and systematized for centuries can actually lead to a very thought-provoking story.”
    • “Lovely graphics and successful storytelling, average but acceptable gameplay features for an interactive novel kind of game.”
    • “It plays as a 2D storytelling game that involves using dialogue and puzzles to solve problems.”
    • “Dialogues and plot were childish and amateurish.”
    • “This game is presented as a story where you try and slowly convince everyone to support kolkhoz, but it barely even fulfills that.”
    • “The ending was abrupt and did not resolve the story, such as it was.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game immerses you in a rich atmosphere, especially with its detailed information about the era. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Bolshevik Revolution, the 1930s collectivization process, or those who enjoy novels like 'And Quiet Flows the Don' or Gladkov's 'Cement'.”
    • “The atmosphere is incredibly well-crafted, making you feel as if you are truly part of the historical events unfolding around you.”
    • “Every detail contributes to a captivating atmosphere that draws you in and keeps you engaged throughout the experience.”
    • “The game attempts to create an immersive atmosphere, but it often falls flat, leaving players feeling disconnected from the world.”
    • “While the setting has potential, the overall atmosphere lacks depth and fails to engage players on an emotional level.”
    • “Despite the historical context, the atmosphere feels generic and uninspired, making it hard to stay invested in the experience.”
