#TALLBOYS #indiegame #gamedev #UE4 #UnrealEngine /4ZXVcofqSD- TALLBOYS July 17, 2020 You’re a criminal who is planning an escape from the Giant-Policeman, while he’s trying to provoke you into actions that expose your guilt. (And their height.) But as website Super Jump notes, the figure has also been posed by artists in the 80s as a more big-brother type figure. Why is a cool-looking game inspiring such paranoia and backlash? Well, the eponymous Militsioner is a storied Russian figure that can be traced back to a poem where a policeman is framed as a brave and noble hero known for their good deeds. The news segment then goes on to interview multiple people about the apparent shady aims of the video game, which supposedly uses realism to make you, and I quote, “involuntary hostages of this story.” One expert criticizes that the game will use emotions, sensations, and music to envelop you in its agenda. The imagery is as arresting as it is evocative - which might explain why it’s also caught the attention of state-owned Russian media, Russia-24.ĭeveloper Tall Boys uploaded translated footage of a recent news segment, where an anchor argues that the game is somehow anti-Russian, especially since the policeman could be considered the villain. It’s easy to see why: The trailer features an enormous policeman who can, at any time, interfere with what the player is doing around the map.
In early September, footage of upcoming surreal mystery game Militsioner went viral on Twitter.
