Gee, I thought these new releases were supposed to get increasingly longer (higher res graphics, more coding, bigger files, which make these games take longer to finish than these old DOS games used to), so wonder why 1953 is such a short game - is it b/c of lack of lengthy Russian documents (yes, I understand this game's graphics/artwork is based/drawn using real Russian documents) meaning these Russian docs were in short supply?

Anyone know anything about this game? Its at Gamers Gate,among others. I`m tempted to buy but I hate to plunk money down totally blind...

Rahrah, I merged you into this thread. YOu may find some answers here.

Thanks. Somehow I missed the original thread. Missing a lot of things lately LOL.

Not a problem Rahrah! Let us know what you think if you play.

I`m finally seeing some reviews online and they seem to say the game is only about three hours long. It will have to be $10 or less for this cheapo to buy it...

I'd tend to agree, although I'd pay as much as $20 if it's as good or better as sublustrum.
I don't mind short games personally. A game is its own right length.

Sublustrum, better known as Outcry, is IMHO one of the all-time greats. I could never understand why it wasn`t more appreciated. For anyone waiting for a good game to come out, its only $5 at The Adventure Shop and perhaps their biggest bargain...
