Quirky and funny... this adventure PnC game delivers. Solid puzzles, excellent Russian voice acting, excellent graphics and animation, and memorable characters. Lot of cutscenes toward the end. Nice work with the subtitled translation. Although I do not know the language, the translated subtitles were clearly understandable, and they had enough of the weirdness that it matched the gameplay. I enjoyed getting a bit of cultural insight into this historical period, in a very humorous and irreverant way. This is a very different and very indie type game, with a donkey-cart load of raunchy humor.

Game uses the Unity game engine, which I ran on Ubuntu Linux 18.04, with radeon mesa drivers. I was able to run this on a fast desktop without technical issues. However, an older desktop, with just the minimum HW requirements, was not able to run this game, and the game crashed on startup. The gamepad and mouse controls (no keyboard shortcuts) both worked. The game takes up 3,300 MBs of diskspace. Some not so good things are the repetitive music loops (I turned the volume down), the not always clear objectives, and many non-intuitive puzzles. At one point, the game character even admits that the solution does not make any sense! But this is an older PnC game remake, so I can overlook those things, for this interesting, foreign experience.
