How it feels
A tense, choice-driven political simulation where every decision carries weight and the threat of failure looms.

What players say
Players compare it to Crisis in the Kremlin but find it less deep and more scripted, with events pushing players along a predetermined path. The game is short, the UI is poor, and late-game crashes are common, though the political setting on Ukraine and multiple endings are praised.
