A desk investigation game set in a fictional 1970 communist state. Every morning, a new evidence bag arrives. Intercepted letters, coded messages, wiretap recordings. Somewhere in that paper trail is a network of names. Cross-reference. Decipher. Identify. Then decide what to do with what you know.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 29 → 0.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Welcome, Aleksey!
Your application has been approved. We trust that you will prove yourself worthy of your new position as a junior cryptology analyst. This is not just a job. This is Service to the Motherland! The OKO Cipher Bureau is counting on you! Our whole nation is counting on you!
Each day, new evidence will arrive at your desk. Inside, you will find photographs, intercepted correspondence and wiretapes. From seemingly unrelated details, you must draw conclusions: who is who, which name belongs to which face, and what alias hides behind each person.
Show them no mercy. They are subversive elements who, for reasons unknown, continue to undermine the achievements of our Republic!
Stay vigilant: no one here will hold your hand. Every piece of information may prove equally important, and your role is to decrypt, analyze, and ultimately expose the enemies of the nation!
Every document is a piece of a larger puzzle. Photographs do not come with names, and the aliases described in reports are not directly connected to any faces. Some documents only begin to make sense several days later. Your task is to connect these clues and uncover who is really pulling the strings within the Opposition - and why.
Your desk is the center of the investigation. Evidence can be freely rotated, flipped over, examined, and interacted with - whether that means lighting a cigarette, handling documents, or rewinding magnetic tapes as many times as you need.
Intercepted correspondence never reveals everything directly. You will learn to operate special decoding machines that make evidence analysis easier - but never obvious.

Reviews
Really enjoying this game. It's very difficult - the answers aren't spoon fed to you, but that makes it more enjoyable imo. I would appreciate knowing how many more warnings I will get until I'm fired (first time was a shock!) but other than that minor thing, it's great. I haven't completed it yet, but I'm on my second run and have made it further this time!
Having a real-life time limit in a deduction game is just a crime against the game genre. Cool that I can pin items on the board, or take notes, it means nothing if I don't have time to do it. The table is tiny, it could be easily 4x bigger with a zoom option. When the table is full "the oldest document from the bottoms was returned", nice, I've got no idea what the game has removed, and I left that item there for a reason. The multiple decryption devices that are supposed to be an important thing in the game, feel like an annoying gimmick.

As it stands now, can't recommend it. You are expected to identify someone daily but the game throws at you unrelated or completely ussles evidence that doesn't help with anything at all making this experience frustrating at least. You get the photo of some dude then 2 reports about ppl not related to the photos received and you are left with it, then many days later finally report about that random dude comes with unrelated notes. The order and contents of the daily materials is so badly designed it leaves me with this review.
Sadly i cannot recommend it. It's not that the game is bad but very underwhelming. The narrative never gets interesting, there are no twists, there are no meaningful choices/consequences during gameplay, the endings are just two options at the end that lead to a little bit of text, amd most of the cutscenes waste your time. The gameplay of decryption letters is fine but the contents are never interesting. Some much potential wasted.
Naprawde fajna gra, klimatem podobna do papers please, spodziewałem się, że będzie trochę prostsza, po dwóch godzinach gry odkryłem pseudonimy 3 osób. Polecam
Po godzinie gry mogę śmiało powiedzieć, że gra zrobiła na mnie świetne wrażenie. Ma bardzo dobry, tajemniczy klimat i szybko potrafi wciągnąć. Ciągle chce się sprawdzać, co będzie dalej. Łączenie faktów i odkrywanie kolejnych rzeczy daje sporo frajdy. Na ten moment same plusy. Jedyny mankament jest trochę za ciężka, za to muzyka wszystko rekompensuje - jest wspaniała!
Only played a little bit so far, the game is really fun and Ive been waiting for this since start of the year so excited to play more. Would recommend
데모 단계부터 기대하며 플레이했던 게임이 정식출시되어 일단 1회차(?) 를 플레이했다. 전문 용어들이 엄청 많이 나와서, 영어를 좀 하는데도 번역기 옆에 끼고 해야 했다. 한글패치가 있다면 훨씬 플레이가 용이할텐데 나온지 워낙 얼마 안 된 게임이고 그다지 주목받는 게임도 아닌 것 같아서... 일단 정말 현실에서 추리를 하면 이런 느낌일까 싶다. 친절하게 단서를 건네주는 게임이 아니다. 엄청나게 파편화된 단서들을 그냥 내 얼굴에다 되는대로 막 집어던진다. 그 중에서 필요로 하는 정보를 취하고, 점을 연결짓는 건 완벽하게 나의 몫이다. 눈 빠지게 서류를 들여다봐야 하고, 서류들의 양도 어마어마하다. 이 게임에서 내 머리 안 아프게 하는 건 암호 디코더밖에 없다. 정말 그것만 쉽다... 머릿속에서 아무것도 정리되지 않고, 그 어떤것도 명확하게 그려지지 않는다... 추측을 던지고 맞는지 아닌지 확인만 할 수 있을 뿐... 근데 맞는지 다음날 바로 확인이 가능한 수준이면 이 일 나한테 왜 맡긴건데 하는 근본적 의문이 들기는 한다 니가찾아 왜 나한테 추리맡기는거냐고 여하간 너무 많은 정보를 내가 스스로 생각해야 해서 와 이게 진짜추리구나 생각이 든다 머리아파 뒤질거같음. 정말정말정말 불친절하다. 그래서 현실같다. 만만히 보고 덤비면 큰코다친다. 진심 아 무 것 도 안가르쳐준다고! 내가해본 추리게임중 제일어려움 뭐가 필요한 정보고 뭐가 버려야 할 정보인지 구분을 하나도 못하겠다고~!!! 노트 꺼내고 다 적어가면서 플레이하는데도 얻어낼 수 있는게 아무것도 없어서 멍청이 된 기분이다 처음 며칠은 순탄했는데 그 뒤로는 던져지는 정보들에 정신없기만 하고 아무것도 맞추지 못해서 소리지름. 결국 짤리는 엔딩 봤다. 다시 차근히 도전해볼 계획이다. 너무 머리아프고 힘든데 그만큼 재미는 있다. 다만 호불호가 어마어마하게 갈릴 것 같다. 확실한 걸 좋아하는 사람은 싫어할 것 같고, 애매모호해도 직접 답을 찾아가는 쾌감을 좇는다면 잘 맞을 것이다. 나 머리 좀 좋다 하면 도전해봐라 그래도 쉽진 않을걸;; 역시 게임강국 폴란드 세계관도 좀 폴란드답고... 나는 재도전 후 후기를 수정하러 돌아오겠다... + 그리고 패치로 책상 좀 넓게 볼 수 있게 해줬으면 좋겠다 자료가 이렇게 많은데 아무리 해상도를 바꿔도 볼수있는 영역은 좁다 아니 크게보겠다고 하잖아 내가
Wybitne! Mechaniki są idealnie wyważone bo są nie za ciężkie i nie za proste, gra wymaga myślenia, ale też nie ma zbyt wysokiego progu wejścia. Klimat jest ŚWIETNY! Jako fan Serii Niefortunnych Zdarzeń i wszelkiej maści szyfrów zostawiam ogromną polecajkę
I would say that it is a good game ovelall, the artstyle and the note system are pretty intriguing. The answers aren't given directly to you and this makes the game challenging in a unique way. I would suggest adding an option to extend the duration of each day to help out a bit anyone who might have trouble piecing the clues together. I say the last one partialy because my second achievement was the "skill issue" one.
