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!!!

What adventure?

Why is this game categorized as an adventure game when it is mainly a visual novel? The controls are clumsy, the graphics seriously below par and... That is where I have stop my review; I really wish I could go more into the game experience, but after three crashes that put me back at the beginning of the game, I decided to move on.

Yikes

This game was definitely made by someone with limited knowledge of historical events and the context that surrounded them. It really just seems like the creator(s) used this game as a platform to regurgitate the same anti-communist rhetoric that they themselves have been exposed to, and by doing so they have in turn created another piece of propaganda for other's to consume. It's incredibly unfortunate.
