Have you ever thought of escaping a city? What about trying to escape a city guard by a GIANT policeman? And everyone thinks you’re a criminal. This is the concept of Militsioner, a strange yet delightful immersive simulator from Russian indie developer, TallBoys.

Gameplay

The newly released gameplay trailer demonstrates the game voice mechanics and the world of the game. It is painted with a communist dystopian atmosphere with a pair of giant eyes of the policeman watching you. The voice mechanics enable you to communicate with the giant sentinel and provoke him if you’re ready to face his wrath.

The city seems explorable and you can talk to the NPC with the same voice mechanics and they all seem hostile to your existence. The hostility means leaving the town discreetly would be a challenge since the townsfolk would threaten to call the authorities at the sight of you. The crime that you have been accused of is unknown.

The developers are polishing the voice system to ensure it to be as natural as possible. The Player’s response will affect the environment and the NPC’s reaction.

“In order for the policeman and the environment to understand the player correctly, we are working on a system that will correctly process the player’s responses based on the context,” a developer from TallBoys says. “It is important that it does not make stupid mistakes or create obstacles, as the answers will influence the mood and attitude of the Militsioner towards the player.”

For those who prefer more discreet gameplay, the developers are looking at the alternative text input or even dialog system.

The game is still in development and has yet to determine a release date. However, it has already gained interest due to its intriguing concept and fascinating ideology.

This new collaboration by Bethesda Softworks and Arkane Studios thrilled fans. Both companies collaborated in the critically-acclaimed Dishonored series and 2017’s Prey. The in-game art design is reminiscent of that in Dishonored while also displaying some of the fan-favorite mechanics in the game. Prey clearly inspires the sci-fi elements in Deathloop with a retro mix. However, unlike the previous two games from Arkane, Deathloop seems to be more colorful and vibrant in visuals.

The song accompanying the trailer is by artist, FJØRA. Appropriately named ‘Déjà Vu’, the Bond-vibe song matched the editing and gameplay sequence in the trailer perfectly.

Audio Director, Michel Tremouiller is responsible for the ear candy players will experience as they play.

“Along with the different visual influences in each district, we wanted to ensure players would hear different things between the different regions of the island.”-  Audio Director Michel Tremouiller.

Gameplay

Also like the previous games, the gameplay is about finding a different path in the environment. This is the part in both Dishonored and Prey that gives it a high-replay ability value.

The trailer shows Colt with stealth abilities like invisibility, crouching, and knife. The fancy environment design also helps to contribute to stealth gaming. But that doesn’t mean combat isn’t an option. It seems that Colt will be provided with powers and weapons enabling different methods in approaching an objective.

To the newly initiated, it is recommended to play Dishonored and Prey to get some idea of the studio’s style.

Another new concept by the studios is the option for multiplayer. Players could also choose to play as Julianna and look into her perspective in the game.

Whatever it is, fans of the first-person shooters will be excited for this addition alongside Resident Evil: Village and Far Cry 6.

It is now available for pre-order on PS5. The game will officially release on PS5 and PC on May 21, 2021.
