My Cute Commissar

My Cute Commissar is a satirical historical visual novel with match-3 gameplay, set amid the political struggle in 1920s communist Russia. You take part in the struggle for power and can bring either Trotsky or Stalin to a ruling position. Your choices shape whether you pursue world-wide revolution or build communism in one country.

The leaders

Stalin is a young woman who follows communist ideas but rejects world-wide revolution. She aims to seize power and build communism in one country through industrialization and the Great Purge. Trotsky is a naive woman devoted to permanent revolution and freedom for the proletariat. She has no interest in power or personal gain, seeking instead military communism and freedom for all oppressed people, whatever the cost.

Match-3 and endings

The game combines a classic visual novel and match-3 gameplay with a love story in a 1920s Russian setting. It has multiple endings and a lofi hip hop soundtrack by G374.
