It’s a relatively obscure, old game that I’d say is essentially Atomic Heart before the actual Atomic Heart showed up; due to the game taking place in the USSR (Stalin’s USSR no less!) where the USSR supposedly made a psychic antenna to turn everyone in the USSR into supermen to ensure a global victory of Communism (this part feels Trotskyist, not something Stalin would do); and of course, the experiment goes wrong because of course it does; and everyone’s now either dead or a silent hill-esque monster.

Every East European (especially Russians) here would know what I’m talking about, as the game was mostly popular in those areas.

EDIT: In case anyone’s wondering, no I have not played it. But I will say that I’ve heard this was going to get a remake, wonder what happened to it

    but I’ve read about it in a gaming journal - back when those existed

    didn’t they revitalize as “gaming news sites”?

    The premise about supermen seems rooted in the misunderstood, poorly researched and liberally regurgitated concept of the New Soviet Man.

    maybe this will change in the remake? i don’t have my hopes up though. but anyway where do i learn about the “new soviet man” without any liberal bias?

      Didn’t know there was a remake in the works

      Good question. Best to ask over at genzhou or c/Communism, they ought to have sources

        I remember reading an article about it somewhere a few years back. They even interviewed the game’s dev. Can’t find the article anywhere now though. I’ll still try to look for it and link here if I can.
