    The story unfolds as players navigate a surreal and chaotic world, battling enemies while experiencing a gradual mental decline marked by bizarre dreams and hallucinations, including a shadowy figure and a cosmic horror antagonist reminiscent of Putin. The narrative is enriched by unsettling encounters and unique settings, blending dark humor with horror elements, ultimately revealing a surprisingly well-crafted and engaging storyline that defies initial expectations.

    • “Throughout the story, while 'taking out the trash' and freeing your crew from prison or having them back you up as a sort of army to fight the police or enemy swarms, you'll begin to feel your mind deteriorating. From weird dreams like driving down a tropical beach to encountering hallucinations of a shadowy figure that stalks you throughout the game, culminating in a confrontation with a cosmic horror version of Putin, the narrative is both surreal and engaging.”
    • “What seems at first like a low-effort Slavic joke actually turns out to be an unexpectedly well-made, well-thought-out game with surprising story progression.”
    • “I also really loved the parkour you do halfway through the game, like when you're dodging the police and bursting through windows to face more neo-Nazis or hooligans. The creepy encounters, such as an old lady who screeches at you and stabs you, or a secret room with a knife-wielding maniac in a meat-den, add a unique and unsettling layer to the story.”
