After a very long wait (the game was announced in 2009) Phantomery Interactive, developer of Sublustrum (Outcry), finally made it!
Their game "Phobos 1953" has been renamed "1953 - The power of the KGB" and finally found a publisher, the german UIG.

Quote:
UIG, a leading German Game publisher, have today announced that 1953 – KGB Unleashed will release on PC on July 6th from all leading digital distribution outlets with a recommended retail price of €19.99, and in Q3 from high street retail outlets.
Developed by Phantomery Interactive, 1953 – KGB Unleashed is a tense and atmospheric First Person Adventure set deep within the bowels of a Soviet bunker during the Cold War. Players must uncover the dark and horrifc secrets buried within, fighting their own paranoia along the way as well as the possibility of all-too-real terrors within the bunker.
Are the voices emanating from all around you real, or just an hallucination resulting from your isolation?
Will you manage to escape into the warm embrace of daylight, or will you be trapped within the foreboding menace of the bunker? Only in 1953 – KGB Unleashed can the answers be found!

Wonder if there'll be another "didn't see that coming" moment? Looking forward to playing this one.

Thanks Carla, but I assume this is a German release only and no word yet for an English release.....right?

GreyFuss -- Carla is investigating as we speak! Our impression is that it's the English version, but we're getting confirmation.

I hope this will be pure adventure, no fighting/self-defense/killing/quick reflexes needed?

Pretty sure, cruise, that it will be much like Sublustrum, no fighting or reflexes needed:) But it is somewhat creepy, nothing too bad though. Think Dark Fall creepy.

Oh, yes, I'm familiar with the first Dark Fall game, although I've played DF Lights Out, but I haven't played DF Lost Souls, even though I have it as a d/l from a few yrs ago, and backed up on a disk.

Thanks for all your hard work birthday girl.

I hope the further details will include that they mean it will be voiced in English and not just subtitles and that the same will be released on July 6th as the original press release stated or that they mean that it will be released eventually in English,

Yeah, me, too, GF. But subtitles work for me just fine, in fact, I, personally, like subtitles better than voices in the game.

But if the game is being released/available in the UK, GF, and both you and I are based in the USA, how are we going to get the game for ourselves, unless I look for it on the TP?

I have to say that I made lots of questions and I got only a couple of answers lol
but I'm confident that soon or later I will get the whole picture, especially if and when the game will be released in USA or by digital download

Thanks, BET - maybe I'll go to him for my copy (that is depending on the price, since we have to tighten our belts to save up for the home improvment project - new roof, dormer extension, new garage, and addition to house, which will at least take us into summer 2013 to get this done).

If the voiceover translation of sublustrum is any indication I think I will prefer subtitles too.
And yay Carla! Thanks so much for the info.
