About the Game

Welcome to "CHERNOGRAD"!

You are an officer of the Citizen Tranquility Agency's surveillance department, tasked with investigating potential crimes in District 15 using cutting-edge technology to monitor citizen activity. Your job is to review cases, identify violators, record evidence, and file reports — all for the good of your country!

Core Gameplay

In your office, you will operate a control panel, receiving alerts about potential violations. You will connect to apartments and use buttons, levers, sliders, and dials to determine whether an incident has truly occurred. Pay close attention to the details — violations can be hidden in small things, and sometimes the real culprit isn't the one you're watching. Remember, the responsibility is heavy — your next report could decide not only someone else's fate but also your own.


Intrigue and Investigations...

You are assigned to track down the organizers of the "Free Will" resistance, who seek to overthrow the government. But will you be certain that you are on the right side? Will you continue to follow orders, or will you begin to question the regime? What if you discover a truth different from the one you were told? Your decisions will determine not only your fate but the fate of an entire nation.
