How it feels

A frantic, solo-developed shooter that feels raw and unpolished, with every encounter being a messy, high-stakes power fantasy built on punishing combat and grim Soviet-bloc atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise this solo-developed shooter as a fun mashup of Half-Life, STALKER and Doom with satisfying gunplay and a gritty Soviet atmosphere. It runs about 6 to 12 hours and doesn't overstay its welcome, though many note it is rough around the edges with occasional bugs. Some reviewers warn that enemy combat can be frustrating, especially on higher difficulties.
