Republique

A distinctive stealth game that turns a surveillance-state dystopia into something intimate, seen through CCTV feeds and hacked systems. Its systems are cold and impersonal, yet the bond it builds through them feels surprisingly human.

boring game. bad gameplay

Alright, I first played this game on my tablet after stumbling upon it while looking for long, story-driven Android games. It was fun and intriguing, especially the gameplay mechanics that rely on cameras and click-to-guide controls for 'Hope'. Now, I’ve finally got the chance to try it on PC, and oh my god, the jump in quality is insane!!!! The details, the atmosphere... I’m thoroughly enjoying it. ​However, even though I'm replaying it, I still haven't fully grasped the story. To understand the whole plot and the events, you actually need to listen to the cassette tapes, read the posters, newspapers, etc. This makes following the narrative much more complicated, and there are some terms that are honestly quite complex for a non-native English speaker like myself. Even the ending—I still haven't completely processed it yet. Although it seems logical in a way, I can't help but feel there’s a missing link in the plot and the overarching story. ​Overall, I highly recommend the game because it’s incredibly fun and a great way to pass the time. If you are a seasoned gamer who loves intricate stories, this game is definitely for you—especially since it’s free *wink, wink* .

good stealth game. recommend playing with a controller, you have much more control compared to the point and click movement with a mouse. the camera features are also great. like seeing pathing and guys through walls.

This game is fun on PC but amazing on VR. A great intro to VR games as it doesn't require tons on movement so you don't get the VR-queasiness.

Themes inspired by and borrowing from French nihilistic writing with the unsatisfying results you expect from them.
