A difference in perspective is something that can change a video game from one genre to the next. For the teams at He Wakes!, Critical Reflex, and Tall Boys, they’re putting a very different experience on simulators with their title Militsioner. The game puts you in a world where there’s a literal giant watching over you, and they aren’t the only suspicious person around! You need to get of the town you’re in, but how can you do that when everyone is watching you? That’s what you’ll have to find out. The game will drop on console and PC in 2027, but here’s a breakdown of the game for you.

“You’re an ordinary nobody who hasn’t done anything noteworthy, let alone… a crime. Must be a mistake, but this morning you were arrested. Pack your stuff and leave as fast as possible, but be wary – every move you make is being followed by a Colossal Policeman. Navigate the city and escape by using your wits – and remember, every problem has multiple solutions. Run, hide, lie, steal, snitch, sneak… But keep on guard. The town and the Policeman are watching.”

As for some of the game’s features, here you go:

• Non-Linear Action: You have tons of freedom to find your own solution to each obstacle. Decide how to spend your time, where to go, who to trust…or snitch on. Run, hide, sneak around, bribe, lie, and manipulate others to get what you want, or break the law and steal what you need. The risks – and the rewards – are yours to discover.
• Tamagotchi-Like Relationships: Every character – including the Colossal Policeman – has their own mood you can influence with a reactive conversation system. Keep the townsfolk happy with flattery and gifts, but be careful not to upset them or they may try to turn you in. You can even go on a date with the Giant! Just be mindful when he’s on duty…
• Dynamic World & Exploration: The city is alive and constantly changing, with new people, places, and secrets around every corner. Each character has their own schedule, and you can change the time of day to find new ways forward. Real-time flooding opens up new areas to discover, and even the eclipse comes with its own intense surprises.

So wishlist the game now and be ready for when the watchful eyes of a giant descend upon you!
