Section Six

Section Six blends interactive fiction with simulation. You play a postal censor in an alternative Russia of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, through seven days in a satirical story about surveillance, informing and the desire for change.

The inspection

You arrive at work to learn that an inspection is coming to assess the section’s performance. On your desk, you find a note from a loan shark demanding repayment of your family’s debt. Your choices determine whether you carry out your duties as a cog in the system, fuel the revolution or focus on your own well-being, and shape the stories of individual characters.

The setting

The world draws inspiration from classic Russian literature and is presented in classic 2D graphics, with an original soundtrack.
