The game has a charming writing style and offers interesting options that engage players in the story.
It serves as a fun and educational introduction to early Soviet history, with appealing art and a unique soundtrack.
The game shows a lot of potential for future updates and expansions, making it worth keeping an eye on.

Gameplay is shallow and mostly consists of a choose-your-own-adventure format with minimal impactful decisions.
The minigames, particularly the Tetris-like mechanic, are frustrating and detract from the overall experience.
Many players feel the game is incomplete and lacks depth, leading to disappointment with its current state.

- “This game would be better and less disappointing if it didn't have awful design choices and mechanics.

The music in the game, featuring Soviet-era tracks, is a central element that players cannot pause or skip, creating a unique but potentially frustrating experience. While some users appreciate the interesting soundtrack and its integration into the gameplay, others criticize it as an overpriced music playlist that lacks meaningful interaction. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some enjoying the ambiance while others feel it detracts from the overall value of the game.
- “Very fun game, nice soundtrack, story is interesting.”
- “The developer took some art and music from the Soviet Union, music that you can't pause nor skip, and essentially you click play, and time goes.”
- “The developer took some art and music from the Soviet Union, music that you can't pause, skip, or interact with in any way. Essentially, you click play, and time goes by. Once in a while, you are asked a question, and you can select from 2 or 3 options, but your choice has no consequence until the game ends, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.”
- “You should feel some semblance of shame, man. I could have used that money for anything other than a 10-minute Soviet song playlist, something that I can find easily on YouTube.”
- “In short, this is the most expensive music 'CD' you will ever pay for.”
