Noskovrazdor

Noskovrazdor puts you in a digital agency responsible for deciding which websites can keep operating and which will be added to the state register of prohibited resources. You review each case yourself, examining websites and comparing their content with a growing body of laws, orders and official recommendations. If you find a violation, you issue a decision and block the resource; the system also lets you block almost any site, leaving you to decide how far to go.

Review websites

You inspect pages, materials and details that may indicate a violation, then weigh their content against broadly worded state requirements. You can follow the letter of the law, interpret it in the agency’s interests or use your authority as you see fit. The game’s examples range from blocking genuinely dangerous content to restricting an inconvenient service—or treating a recipe site’s instruction to turn pancakes over when bubbles appear as a threat to state stability.

Agency work and consequences

The agency’s satirical bureaucracy unfolds through letters, assignments, reports and official language that make absurdity part of routine procedure. Your decisions prompt reactions from citizens, appear in internal news and contribute to rising public tension. Your office includes a work computer, terminals, official communications and a comfortable workspace from which you can make the internet safer.
