About This Game

The tempestuous revolution calls for a transformation of thought and literature. The forces of the new and the old are locked in an unprecedented tug‑of‑war. And you, dear Comrade Charnolusky—you stand at the very centre of these writers, these ideas, this storm.

In the visual novel game Charnolusky‘s Office, players assume the role of Charnolusky, the People's Commissar for Education of the newly established regime—Rurik Commune. Through conversations and interactions with a diverse array of writers and poets, you will decide their fates and the very course of literature itself.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game features certain art assets that were generated with the assistance of AI. All such AI-assisted or AI-imitated artwork has been created with the consent of the original creator (which essentially means I fed my own drawings into the AI). All other content, including text, audio, and other materials, was produced without any AI involvement.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game is a narrative visual novel themed around politics, history, and literature, and contains the following content that may not be suitable for all age groups:
Political themes and ideological debate: The story is set during a revolutionary period in a fictional country and involves discussions of adult themes such as regime change, political struggles, arrests, exile, and executions. The narrative explores the relationship between literature and politics, as well as conflicts between different schools of thought.
Mild coarse language: Characters occasionally use mild profanity or heated language when emotionally agitated.
Character deaths: The plot includes the deaths of certain characters (e.g., from illness, during exile, execution, etc.), but these events are presented solely through textual narration, with no visual depictions of violence or gore.
The core experience of the game lies in advancing the story through dialogue choices, allowing players to witness the clashes and developments among different ideologies during a revolutionary era.
