About the Story

The year is 1959, and you are an American spy trying to escape the USSR and cross the Russian border into Poland. From there, you will travel to a CIA safe house in London, where you are supposed to deliver a memorized list of double agents. But before you can reach the train station, you are caught by the Cheka police and brought in for questioning...

Short illustrated twine game about two spies and escape, October 29, 2025
Related reviews: 15-30 minutes

I was looking through games in my wishlist with no ratings and this popped up.

This twine game from 2021 has two available routes. In one, you play as a male spy, and in the other as a female spy, both in nearby interrogation rooms.

In both paths, you can look around the cell or pick the lock and try to escape.

The game uses a lot of well-chosen illustrations, some from pixabay and others that look hand-made.

The game feels slightly unfinished; I found some exposed code errors and entered debug mode on accident at one or two points. And sometimes I had conflicting text on the screen that felt like I was seeing two paths at once. So I feel like if the author wanted to ever expand on the game or polish it a bit more, it could be more solid, but I had fun.
