About this game
When language itself is under threat, one detective steps up to stop the madness. When eccentric scientist Professor Santusov reaches out in panic, it’s not just about some fancy time machine. His real invention, the Speakbreaker, can rewire the human brain to erase all languages—except Russian. And someone’s planning to use it.
To stop this linguistic apocalypse, our detective must travel across time itself—from the prehistoric age to the French Revolution, and even a dystopian Russian-controlled future. Along the way, he’ll interrogate weirdos, solve absurd puzzles, and quite possibly change the course of history.
With sharp humor, ridiculous logic, and unforgettable dialogue, this point-and-click adventure will twist your brain and tickle your funny bone.
Features:
Over 80 hand-crafted locations across time and space
More than 70 fully voiced characters
Twisted story involving time travel, mind control, and language sabotage
