Peace Data

Peace Data is a roguelike action game in which you fight your way to Zhmih, the tyrant ruling the fictional country of Rusland. You roll between cover, dodge bullets, adapt to changing locations, use character abilities, defeat bosses and draw on an arsenal of weapons as you climb the tower where Zhmih lives.

Story

Rusland became a closed totalitarian state after opposition to the president was suppressed during a 2024 re-election. Six years later, resistance survives only in small groups hiding in the dark and individuals isolated at home. Food is distributed by coupons, personal life, rights and freedom have disappeared, and the country has cut itself off from the outside world with its own internet network.

Bitard, an isolated man, builds a crude device in his garage that lets him manipulate other people’s minds. Using it, he takes control of people with whom he has family ties and sets out to reach the top of Zhmih’s tower. There he must steal “Peace Data,” the country’s last hope of restoring peace. When a character dies, time resets and progress returns to the starting point.

Characters and combat

You can play as four characters, each with different abilities and characteristics. Use their skills to fight through the opposition, overcome bosses and make your way toward the tower’s summit.
