Sometimes beautiful, but just not fun
A creepy and atmospheric portrayal of a Russian kid entering a huge multi-level Nazi high-tech nuclear bunker somewhere near Kraków Poland, where only the finest and most skilled members of the Aryan were going to create a community that survived an alternative WW2 ending where it seems almost everyone was wiped out. But, it's the mid-60s now, there's nobody around, except another Russian-sounding youngster on the other end of a radio. The goal is to find your father, from an old photo that showed them on sub level 4. Like Fallout in a sense, but without the humor (except for the wise-ass radio chatter) and some very serious and probably controversial themes. It is sometimes visually beautiful, especially the opening sequence, but otherwise pretty darn dull.
I have to say so far it's not much of an actual game. You wander the preplanned route, finding highlighted things to click on that tell you more of the story. It's more of a (slightly) interactive story than a game.
There may be an occasional puzzle (levers to throw, but not sure if you can get it wrong) and the train roundabout has me stumped currently, but it's not what I'd call a puzzle.
It's beautifully rendered, incredible sound and atmosphere, tolerable voice acting if you can accept they are all Russian (so far), but not a lot of actual fun.
More like an alternate history lesson. It was an inexpensive purchase though, so I'll take it for the visual and atmospheric feeling. But after an hour of playtime, or less, you may be wondering why you're wasting your time. The story isn't that engaging, especially in the first hour or two when you'll be asking yourself why you're still playing it.
No keyboard map, no instruction, figure out that it's ASDW to move, Shift very slightly increases zoom, doesn't move any faster so no run, no jump, no crawl or sneak, but that doesn't matter because no combat, no enemies, just walk to the next point on the preplanned route, optionally reading text notes left behind.
