Martial Law

Interesting story with very good branching choices. Was expecting more of a visual novel and got a nice pixel adventure

I like retro adventures like this. It was pretty fun. I have no knowledge of how Communist Poland was back in the 80s, so I can't say whether or not the interesting facts are accurate, but if the creator was there, they would know. Gameplay is mostly about choosing the right dialogue options. What you say or do could lead to a different ending. I think there are 4? Doesn't take very long to 100% and achievement hunt. The first issue I have is that it was too short, in my opinion. It felt rushed and the endings were abrupt. Also, there are controls for fighting, but only one short moment where you can choose to use them. Then, there's the jump button, which has no purpose at all. Ultimately, if you think you'd be interested in a short, dramatic retro adventure, you'll like this.

I'm not really a fan of games made specifically to tell a story but I think this game is still work checking out. It has a nice pixel art style and the music fits the tone. I do also like that there is a Linux version.

I expected to see more, maybe not in POV of 1 character, but several characters, story feels unfinished and leaves bad aftertaste.

if this game was much longer and more action it will be one of my favorite but its too short and needs some salt
