Snemovna
An absurd survival horror satire set in the Czech Parliament. Sneak through corridors, hide from politicians, and collect real campaign promises in a game full of memes and bizarre buffs.
“Finally, you’ll know what really happens in the Czech Parliament after midnight.”
No press conferences, no open house. Just you, the dark, empty corridors – and a pack of politicians who never sleep. Your goal? Break into Parliament (legally, of course) and collect the real promises before someone catches you.
In the main classic horror mode, you will secretly navigate through intricate corridors, climb into cabinets and ventilation shafts in order to find 10 promises located in various political party offices. In the next mode, Theft, you will not be looking for promises, but valuable items that you must find and leave with before things go wrong. The goal is not easy; you have to walk very carefully, avoid using your flashlight when it's not necessary, and primarily listen for the footsteps of your enemies. Politicians don't sleep at night, and one moment of inattention is enough for them to drag you into their office to give you an unforgettable lecture on a "better future."
Replayability is ensured by random spawning, changing layouts of offices and politicians, objects, and stylized memes themselves. To survive, you'll also use items that you won't find anywhere else: bread with schnitzel, socks in sandals, beer or homemade slivovitz, bitcoins, or the holy Vepro-knedlo-zelo. You need to search for these various useful items that will give you an advantage, improve your skills, limit the functionality of your enemies, or completely change the whole game! These various buffs can also be combined to absurd heights, making it easier to reach your goal.
The main currency is Czech Crowns, which you can exchange for very mysterious delicacies at the buffet. Just search well, and you will even find 5,000 crowns. Or valuable items, such as wine boxes.
On your journey, you will visit faithfully recreated corners of the Chamber of Deputies – from the main hall to the mysterious offices and the legendary cafeteria. The game also serves as an (almost) faithful virtual tour of this guarded environment. You may learn something that no one was supposed to know.
Players will have 3 lives in normal difficulty – if a politician catches you, it's not the end of the world. There will be a choice between two main characters – a villager and a townsman, each with specific advantages and disadvantages in the main mode. Currently, you can choose between seven, each offering an increasingly bizarre experience. More will be added. I plan to have dozens of them, which can be unlocked through various actions.
Further modifications and variations are also planned, such as having players permanently pursued by a single enemy, or allowing players to choose who should pursue them etc.
If you enjoy horror, memes, absurd humor and want to experience political satire in interactive form, this game is for you. Whether you play as a villager or a city dweller, one thing is certain: at 3 AM inside the Czech Parliament, things get hot.
