About the Game

The capital of Russia, Moscow, becomes not only political, financial and cultural center of the country but also the abode of all debaucheries and vices one could ever imagine!

You are a simple provincial engineer eager to change his worthless life. What could be a better place to start everything anew than Moscow where everyone can find some way to earn for a living?

But things there are not as easy as you thought… It starts with magical goggles and aliens and ends with stirring patriotism that will rally the country and drive out all unwelcome invaders!

• Enticing story balancing between reason and nonsense

• A lot of original humor, jokes and means to become even with odious townies

• Multiple weapons (including car muffler!)

• Real-life experience without any censorship!
