About the Game

GoKaDu is a retro simulator of a role-playing card game of the 80s and 90s - "Govno".
Seven ghost friends gathered at GoKaDu Castle to play their favorite game. And the name of that game is "Govno". Play as one of them, intrigue, fight for power, distribute the budget of the deck and put it in order, such as you like. For many years it was believed that this game could not be programmed, but the desire to give players the opportunity to play it at any time of the day or night accomplished the impossible, and it appeared on computers. The game has 52 cards, a phase mode, there is rude profanity, heavy folk rock music and a sea of joy and happiness! The rules and the game world are described in the help and pdf manual.

The gameplay is based on imitation of communication with computer characters. During the game, you need to press the buttons on which the recorded phrases, playing the role of the player. These phrases can be checked for sclerosis damage and edited in the slide-out panel that opens when you click on the key. It closes when you click on the flickering handle of the key or by rotating the mouse wheel at the very bottom of the window. Prepared phrases can be called not only with the mouse, but also with hotkeys, which can be peeped in the slide-out panel. During the game, players can summon additional characters who act as bystanders and spectators of the game. During the games of "Govno" on the street, such extraneous characters added a special atmosphere to the game, which is recreated by this game. After the first section of maps, the letter "A" appears in the lower right corner, clicking on which the Autopilot turns on and off. It will help you cope in a situation when you will not know what to say or you will be too lazy to divide the cards.
