To my surprise, even though this is filed under Early Access it is a quite polished game (first episode) already. The game is fully real time animated, and all the characters are fully voiced ( In Russian ), I had the English UI/subtitle on.
I count two or three real time cutscenes when characters are speaking Russian that dont have the English subtitle on the screen (during the selfie sequences). The dialogues in those scenes are pretty short, like 10 to 15 seconds. But dev should look into adding subtitles to those scenes so people who dont speak Russian can understand what was being said during those scenes.
Do note that this is only the first episode of the game ( I grabbed the game after watching the trailer, without actually reading the early access descriptions ).
My game time finishing on my first playthrough of this episode was about 40 minutes. I'll probably play this episode one more time to see if I can trigger any difference as the story unfold. The dialogue choices in this episode right now dont seem to affect the major plot/story flow too much though, I think probably because it's only the first episode, just the beginning of the story.
There's no explicit sex scenes in the game, for me that's a plus. As far as I can tell this is most likely a murder mystery/whodunit/darkweb/Russian family drama.
Here's hoping when the rest of the episodes come out they maintain the same quality as this episode. I am eager to see how the story unfold.
Think of it as a more linear Telltale style game for now. It is quite refreshing to see a story that's set in none-west settings.
