Steam Store description

The game takes place in 2034, eight years after World War III. Amid the ruins of the old world, new leaders, the European Economic Cooperation (EEC) and Communist China, are vying for global domination, drawing ever more countries into the conflict. The story of one of these countries is the focus of the novel. The Ural Republic, a country that emerged from the ruins of Russia, has been drawn into a bloody conflict. Now the country's fate depends not only on the will of its leaders, but also on the will of an ordinary man, namely, Yevgeny Krylov, a junior sergeant in the Special Order Control Service (SSKP) and the game's protagonist. As Yevgeny, you will decide whether the Urals will remain a loyal ally of Europe in the fight against the spreading threat of communism or side with China in the confrontation with the new empire represented by the EEC. But is it really necessary to choose? Is it worth interfering in the course of world history? The choice is yours. Are you, as a little person, ready to take on such responsibility and follow your chosen path to the end? Features: - Original music. - Around 1,000 backgrounds, all created in an original style. - Variability (10 endings). English and Chinese localization is currently under development!
