I understand the story, but...

The ending was too abrupt. I mean I tried to do good on the info the game provided, but the ending could have been...at least a bit more, not just several promises and a black screen instead of any resolution

Tangarines!!

A sweet Christmas Eve story Polish version. I appreciate that the original came out exactly 40 years after the authentic events (December 23, 1981 -> December 23, 2021). As for the gameplay, the dialogue may be slightly out of step with the times, but seeing as the game had no budget, it can be forgiven (accusing the devs of not being from those times and not really knowing the style of speech of those years is better for them not having to live in that s***t). Interesting facts about places, customs, are great and looking after steam, where it first came out, it works great because a lot of people got interested in this period in Poland. I think the target group is people who don't know anything about Poland.

Accurate slice of life under communism.

This simple Visual Novel accurately depicts the soul-crushing reality of living in a communist "utopia". You might ask yourself "how do I know that" ???... well, I know it because i lived through it. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE TO ANYONE... especially since the GAME IS FREE!!!
