- Progress Report - July 2026 - 19 August 2026
Greetings, beloved citizens!We’ve been hard at work, building, furnishing and tuning the nameless town under the Giant’s gaze. The city grows, expands in all dimensions, and the Law grows with it. And the time has come for us to share more details about the ongoing development. A lot has been added, remade and improved, so take a deep breath. But don’t blink. Structure and OrderStreets now stretch in all directions – navigation can get complicated. So, to make exploration more directed, we’ve split the game into 3 acts, each unlocking a new part of town and its own ways to escape. The environment will also change, and Militsioner’s character develops throughout – each attempt you play as a new nameless criminal. And as more parolees flee the scene – HE grows weary. He can’t help taking it personally. If you participated in the public playtest last year, you are already familiar with the…
- New Trailer is Out Now! - 6 June 2026
Greetings, beloved citizens! Long time no see. Were you behaving well? This time we were extra busy working on the game and finally have something to show you. To prevent any unrest caused by lack of updates about HIM, we bring you a fresh new trailer from the latest IGN LIVE SHOWCASE. It shows a lot of never before seen locations, scenes and events. Which means, you’re OBLIGATED to watch it, if you follow Militsioner’s development. Lots of questions might be stirring inside of you after watching it. Who? What? Where? All we will say for now is that Militsioner underwent huge changes. Almost everything you see in the trailer is new. The city, its inhabitants, the game’s opening act – everything has been improved and expanded. Even HE has changed. We hope to talk about these changes in detail very soon in future teasers and devlogs. Until then, stay out of trouble and keep sharing your s…
- Open Playtest extended until September 18th! - 3 September 2025
Greetings, beloved citizens! We looked at all the feedback you left and some of your comments about already yearning to try the game more in the future, and we thought – why not give you some more time to try out the game? So we decided to extend the playtest for a couple of weeks! Now you have some more time to join and try out the game, or, if you did it already – spend some more time with a needy giant and not-so-welcoming denizens of the town. Also, here’s a little tip on some ways to get on the train, in case you haven’t tried those: There is a back door in the ticket booth, so paying for the ticket isn’t necessary… if you find a way to open it Ticket booth cashier fears you, to her – you’re a criminal. Prove her you aren’t evil and she may help you leave the town. Militsioner won’t just let you leave, this includes even getting the ticket. You don’t have to hide from him though. Y…

We’re working on new fixes right now (as you might’ve noticed from several patches to the playtest that we released already), so the experience is getting smoother with each day. We’ll share more details about the development in the nea…

- Progress report – June 2025 - 6 June 2025
Greetings, beloved citizens! Welcome to our soon-to-be regular progress reports! In these we’ll keep you posted on new features and changes that happen in our game, as well as share some development insights. There’s a lot, so let’s get into it! Crime and PunishmentLet’s start with the star of the show – the Militsioner. First things first, in the latest update we’ve rebalanced his Mood System and improved his catching tech to be smoother and more physically realistic. Additionally, we’ve expanded his functionality and added more ways to interact with him. For example, Militsioner now has an inventory of his own. He stores items in his giant pockets and uses them when he needs to… Unless you steal them. But don’t expect theft to go unnoticed: if he catches you in the process, this won’t look good in your case file. Not good at all.Now he can also lean in to take a closer look at the tow…

- I'm stoked for this immersive sim about escaping a town in the shadow of a colossal policeman - 30 January 2024
I was instantly taken with the idea of Militsioner when I first saw it in 2021. The upcoming "Kafkaesque" immersive sim gives you the simple goal of escaping a town within a few days, a task which is somewhat complicated by the fact that a Leviathan-sized Russian cop towers over the city, watching you. In a new dev blog, developers TallBoys explain more of how you might court the giant's approval (the term "fully fleshed dating-sim mechanic" features) or avoid it by sneaking about while he sleeps. You might even—gasp!—do crimes. This also drew my attention to a ten-minute gameplay video they released last month and oh, yes, please. Read more
- New Demo & How we made It - 29 January 2024
For quite some time now, we've been developing a kafkaesque immersive-sim game about escaping the ever-watchful colossal Policeman. Our last devlog took us through the process of shaping the game's concept, and now, we're all set to finally get to the main course. It all began with a goal: to complete the demo… Before that, we created prototypes, designed artwork, and established the technical framework, but all the mechanics were scattered. They simply needed to be assembled into one cohesive and enjoyable game. And, Fully determined to reach the finish line, we… kept repeatedly falling into the same pattern—developing scattered ideas and prototypes. It was challenging to break free from that loop, and the situation was only intensified by a part of the team needing to relocate to another country. It felt like we were stuck, this time for good. It might sound strange, but we don’t have…

- Beyond Yes or No: Analyzing Our Dialog System - 11 March 2023
Hi there! Just dropping by to share some updates on Militsioner's development. Today we’d like to share with you a couple of our latest gameplay videos. At first.. Can you piss off an officer and actually get away with it? We've also been working on a dialog system to enhance immersion within the game. It allows for flexible communication, including the freedom to interrupt, speak at any time during conversation, choose from a variety of expressive options and even walk away from the conversation altogether. Players are welcome to express themselves in whatever way they prefer, even if it means saying something nonsensical. To give you a taste of what the dialog system will look like, we've put together a mini-demo that we're releasing Today. We hope you'll enjoy playing around with it and seeing all the possibilities it offers. Of course, we know there's still a lot of work to do. We'r…
