Prise Salz und so, aber dennoch:

Key notes (but there are a lot more going on):
- Last gameplay is real but it's heavily directed and very linear. First trailer is mostly fake with gameplay bits rendered on engine.
- Seems like the game may have an episodic release (1 episode is approximately 5 hours) but it doesn't mentioned anywhere else.
- CEO doesn't have any knowledge about the game development.
- Everything that people like about the game (art, design, concept) is made by one person - Artyom Galeev, who has been nurturing the concept of the game for many years.
- No actual game design. Devs don't know what they want to make. Someone liked finishers from DOOM and they implented something similar. Ideas shift from Doom-Prey to even Dark Souls.
- Major layoffs and there are not many experienced developers with C++ and UE4 in Russia, a lot of the work is outsourced.
- Development was rebooted 5 months ago and now it looks even worse than it did before, huge gameplay downgrade.
- The whole deal with Soviet Luna Park VR sounds like a cashgrab with peopple who bought it left behind.
- Pre-orders are already open and it seems like it's the only thing about this game that really does work.
