Summary

“1953 – KGB Unleashed” is based on real projects conducted by the Ministry of State Security of the USSR (the former KGB). During that time they pushed the limits of human endurance, testing for the possibility of telepathy, as well as researching the psychological impact of fear on the human brain. The photo-realistic visual style of “1953 – KGB Unleashed” recreates the USSR of the fifties: the underground shelter’s interior is constructed using real Soviet military plans, and the materials found there are based on historically valid documents.

Explore a hidden laboratory where such experiments were conducted in order to learn the truth behind the terrifying events that led to the closure of the project and the liquidation of its staff. An atmosphere of isolation and suspense pervades throughout, bringing you face to face with your own fears, while the voice of invisible “observer” broadcasts over the internal communications system. Is this observer a friend, or an enemy? Your exploration of this perfectly-preserved complex may uncover what these experiments unlocked deep within the human psyche — but will you survive these revelations intact?

Creepy, atmospheric point and click adventure. Short but challenging, maybe unfairly so. Puzzles are pretty vague and often operate onCreepy, atmospheric point and click adventure. Short but challenging, maybe unfairly so. Puzzles are pretty vague and often operate on adventure game logic, so probably just for fans of the genre. I enjoyed my playthrough, but probably only because it came in a bundle. Worth trying out if you happen to already own it.

I wouldn't describe it as a "horror" title, but it's definitely eerie and would make you feel isolated and uncomfortably tensed.The story started a little bland to my taste but it gets interesting. Not stunning, but intriguing enough.The game usually reveals the story througg notes and reports scattered around you, much more the your traditional dialogues and cutscenes which are almost completely absent in this product.The puzzles here are clever, a little too clever, and obscure at times. I difinitely wouldn't beat the game without a walkthrough, although I do think it's possible, if only you'd be REALLY persistnet about it. I wasn't.I've still enjoyed playing it, the little parts I solved on my own and the other parts I solved by reading a walkthrough.For the current price, it's worth it, if only for the great atmosphere and feeling and the little story it has.I must warn you though, if you've read this far, the ending kind of ruins it all. No spoilers here, but really, don't expect too much.This is a game for those who'd appreciate a good atmosphere (getting a little repetitive am i?..), which would really want to take it in, enjoy the exploration and investigation, and wouldn't mind spending 2-3 hours of their time on this unusual adventure.

Game is too short, ends with a weird -this game is not done- suspense yet it is a beautiful and atmospheric adventure. Give it a try if you especially like psychological thrillers.
