Open Playtest Starts Now!

[h3]Greetings, beloved citizens![/h3]

Your trial begins NOW! Militsioner Open Playtest has officially started. If you requested access before, check your library for “Militsioner Playtest”. From there you can download it and start your attempts to escape the town.

Also, check out our new trailer!

Here’s what waits for you in the playtest:

  • A part of the game’s town with interactable environment, NPCs and secrets.
  • Militsioner, the giant policeman. He ensures you won’t run… unless emotions get in the way. You are always being watched, but maybe it can help?
  • Stealth, narrow alleyways, gifts and bribes – if you want to escape, you should utilize all means at your disposal. Either it's goodwill or sneaky manipulations, brute force or elaborate schemes - the town remembers.
  • Complete player freedom – you’re free to do whatever you want, if it helps you reach your goal.

If you played our supporter demos earlier (that we post on our Patreon), there’s will be some new stuff for you as well:
  • New Tutorial: more immersive and concise, now in the main game, featuring Friend!
  • New Intro: with different introductions, influenced by the outcome of the previous attempt and more detailed overall.
  • Redesigned UI: updated dialogue system, expanded Mind Map, and Militsioner’s needs are now displayed more clearly.
  • Townsfolk AI: now they investigate sounds, panic, but you can negotiate to stop them from calling the police.
Stay tuned for our next devlog (that should come out soon after the playtest), where we’ll show new features in more detail!

The playtest will last for 2 weeks, so don’t hesitate to start your attempts today.

Also we want to remind you that this version of the game is work-in-progress, many things are subject to change, and you might encounter some bugs.

You can share your thoughts and wishes in the feedback form in the game, here in Steam community posts or in the official Tallboys Discord server. The more feedback we gather from this playtest, the more stuff we can fix, rework or rebalance to make sure that you’ll enjoy our game to the fullest.

And while you wait for our kafkaesque game, wanna try some new horror directions?

You like ghosts? Carimara is a creepy adventure about finding clues and asking the right questions all in an effort to conjure a ghost in this godforsaken village.
