Some caveats!

  • The masses learn through EXPERIENCE more than through media, so I am under NO illusions that a game like this will suddenly trigger an uprising or something. I'm not daft!
  • BUT, I am an active Communist and this stuff interests me, and I do think the portrayal of revolutionary possibilities can be an expression of the working class waking up to new possibilities.
  • Yes, this is how I make my living. I'm a filthy petty bourgeois!

Anyway, this is a sort of resource-management RPG where you survive, thrive and spark a revolution. The setting's inspired by World War 1 Germany, Petrograd and London. The revolutionary uprisings are inspired by the Russian and German revolutions. There's a national Soviet, but I don't call it that because people wouldn't get it. Some parts are heavily inspired by the movie "October", an old Soviet film that portrays the October revolution.

Anyway, I'm posting it here more as an example of propaganda and not so much as part of the marketing push. If you'd like to buy it that's awesome, but I thought it might be of interest to comrades who are thinking about propaganda, and portrayals of revolutions. (Because I am so done with how revolutions are usually portrayed in media.)

There's a free demo, too, if you just want to try the first few hours. --
