About This Game

Welcome, Aleksey!

Your application has been approved. We trust that you will prove yourself worthy of your new position as a junior cryptology analyst. This is not just a job. This is Service to the Motherland! The OKO Cipher Bureau is counting on you! Our whole nation is counting on you!

Each day, new evidence will arrive at your desk. Inside, you will find photographs, intercepted correspondence and wiretapes. From seemingly unrelated details, you must draw conclusions: who is who, which name belongs to which face, and what alias hides behind each person.

Show them no mercy. They are subversive elements who, for reasons unknown, continue to undermine the achievements of our Republic!

Stay vigilant: no one here will hold your hand. Every piece of information may prove equally important, and your role is to decrypt, analyze, and ultimately expose the enemies of the nation!

Every document is a piece of a larger puzzle. Photographs do not come with names, and the aliases described in reports are not directly connected to any faces. Some documents only begin to make sense several days later. Your task is to connect these clues and uncover who is really pulling the strings within the Opposition - and why.

Your desk is the center of the investigation. Evidence can be freely rotated, flipped over, examined, and interacted with - whether that means lighting a cigarette, handling documents, or rewinding magnetic tapes as many times as you need.

Intercepted correspondence never reveals everything directly. You will learn to operate special decoding machines that make evidence analysis easier - but never obvious.
