На вид симпатичная мультяшная гиперболизация антиутопии, поданная с точки зрения профессионального доносчика, преподносит на первое время неплохой опыт погружения в ситуацию сжатых сроков и тяжёлых обстоятельств. Но вскоре обнаруживаешь, как искусственно подстроенное падение домино на полуслове оставляет тебя у разбитого корыта, лишая желания продолжать аморальную рутину без должной мотивации. Последствия фальшивых выборов неприкрыто обнажают иллюзия свободы действий. Осознание своей заранее отведённой роли в постановочном действе не оставляет никакого желания здесь задерживаться, а уж перепроходить это с мнимой "реиграбельностью" и подавно.

Set in a totalitarian state you take control over a landlord in charge of an apartment complex ordered by the government to spy on the people living there. Writing up their activities for money, blackmailing, and reporting them to the police for the ever increasing number of illegal actions. Choices of who to help or arrest through actions and dialogue can change plot elements and endings for you, the country, and your family. Good art style. Surveillance camera spying isn't really useful as you usually find things by entering the house when people leave and looking at their stuff or talking to people to complete quests. Timing of quests can make things difficult and it's often a better idea to complete them as late as possible so you have more time and the random times and lengths that some people leave their apartments can make things difficult or just cause you to have to wait around.

This game is an interesting experience. However, it is one in which you either have to look up a guide or know exactly how to exploit the different mechanics and characters for you to get the best ending.
The artstyle of the characters is really simplistic but cool where alll of them are represented by black silhouettes.
It is a short game, in which you can finish it in a couple of hours unless you are save scumming a lot just you get the story results that satisfy you.
Get this one if you want a mixture of papers, Please and This War of Mine

I am really conflicted when it comes to this game. I did play all of it and got all the achievements. Did I really enjoy the process? That would be a resounding no.

I feel like this is one of those games that is great with its first playthrough as you experience the story. When you replay it later on, it becomes a painful experience of trying to time all the events that you have seen a million times just right to get a specific outcome. And before you ask, I tried, it was not fun at all.

This game is not terrible by any means, but it really did challenge my mentality of trying to get all achievements for all my steam games at the time. At the end of getting all achievements of this game I felt so exhausted I wanted to stab myself in the gut multiple times.

The game still offers a unique experience of monitoring others in a dystopian Soviet-like society if you are into that shit. It is, however, not one of those games that you would wish to revisit.
