Dear friends! Today on Video Games with History, we’re excited to share both an exclusive and a brand-new format for our channel: a podcast interview with the developers of the upcoming video game In the Name of the Party! — Mikhail (game design, code) and Evgeny (visual design).
Together with our guide Larisa, we delve deep into the multilayered Samosbor universe: navigating the endless corridors of the Gigahrushchyovka, deciphering the absurd laws of the Party, confronting the cults of Chernobog and the Betonovorot, and — above all — trying to survive the consequences of both the Samosbor event and Perestroika.
And along the way, we reflect on what a contemporary Russian anti-utopia might look like — one born out of fractured Soviet memory.
The result? Atmospheric, haunting, and thought-provoking. We put a lot of heart into this episode!
