As a person that lived a small part of my life under communism, this game sure hits close to home. I actually know that while most things present here are hyperbolized, at its base, many of these kind of things likely happened. This is not really a game that you play to win, this more of a game that you play to experience a dark side of humanity. Enjoy!
