There are many quests and situations that seem to start out funny, but can end tragically. Because in Trudograd, you often laugh through tears too. Don’t even ask how… And next to me, a woman, clutching a log wrapped in a towel instead of a baby, screams that her husband left her with the child.Įveryone has a funny or mystical, goofy-flavored story in store.Īnd in this joyful nonsense you begin to see not only and not so much “Petrosianism”, but a very Russian combination of comedy, tragedy and some kind of fabulous, mythological beginning, which, for example, Venichka Erofeev had in “Moscow – Petushki”.
The hospitable owner of the hotel keeps slaves in the basement, who make souvenir medallions for tourists day and night on the street opposite, there is a shepherd who has reached here, who is looking for the seeds of the legendary plant – the ram: the man believes that it will help him restore the herd of goats stolen on the orders of Cosa Nostra. On the global map, here you can meet an old man who, squealing with joy, will take the flyers of the new store distributed by you, and then stop and ask excitedly: “Can you buy sepulia there?” And now go and find out what it is and what to answer him. Whom you will not see during random events! Comedy drama And a peasant who, drunk, hid a stash in a … minefield and does not remember what zigzags to go there. There is a prostitute Nadya Umolyaeva, who, naturally, loves to obey. There will also be a necromancer cook and a former inquisitor who removes curses with the help of arrogance and a huge hammer cultists who worship Saint Seryozha, and cultists who believe in swede the Manekenov family, who are frightened at night by mannequin neighbors. Here in this example is the whole essence of Trudograd with all its Russian folk flavor and the corresponding opportunities for role-playing. Naturally, here you can meet old acquaintances from the original and indulge in memories. If it is not enough, then you need to drink two bottles of pre-war vodka – immediately +2 to strength … And our soul will pinch: am I doing the right thing, do I have the right of an unfortunate scientist to deprive a drug addict cow of society? Maybe it’s better to kill those smugglers? Persuade them using your charisma and communication skills? And if they balk, it is better to scare them using force. Do not ask how and why – the main thing is that it exists, and the smugglers instruct us to deliver this cow to them. Listening to local rumors is a separate pleasure.Īnd there’s also a cow that gives… cocaine. Why Russians? Well, we love it when it’s fun, smart and for free, don’t we? If a carpet, then an airplane, if a tablecloth, then a self-assembly, if an ax, so that he cooks porridge himself, and the oven – so that Emelya herself takes it wherever she says.
Yes, and Trudograd itself, despite the authors’ calls to recall the gloomy Dead City from the supplement to the original and their words about the harsh, adult atmosphere, resembles a haven for the heroes of Russian jokes. When Professor Goryachev, the author of the technology, finds out about this closer to the finale, he will only smile and twist his finger at his temple. Why am I just talking about humor? Yes, because the plot itself resembles a joke (get ready, I will say this word often!): having risen to the rank of major in the secret organization ATOM, our hero or heroine from the original game goes to the titular Trudograd to find the legendary secret development, the railgun, and shoot from it at a meteorite approaching the Earth.
But there is even more humor and a surprising, very Russian combination of comedy and tragedy. Recently, a sequel has been released – ATOM RPG: Trudograd (read the preview about why this addon turned into an independent project), where there are fewer “goals” – the authors have earned, matured, gained experience, worked on bugs, making the game more compact and saturated.
