The setup for this game looks like it could go places. Satirising both communist propaganda and capitalist consumerism could make for quite a few interesting and entertaining ideas. However, the actual game is a sparse, Twiny Jam-sized affair, more a toy than a game, where you click a link to acquire randomly-generated objects.
The technical implementation is flawless, as far as I can see, and the work would probably earn two stars from me, if not for the fact that it's almost completely written in faux-Cyrillic script (for example, using Ф to represent O, not the F sound it actually means), which makes it nearly unreadable and vaguely offensive.
The author himself admits that this is his first published Twine game, so I'm loath to be too harsh to it. The coding, like I said, works perfectly, and the visuals are appropriate. While the actual game is very slight, it is at least a nice time-waster. Rewrite it with proper lettering and it would be greatly improved.
