BORISTAN is PLAYABLE: Lada, Vodka, Co-op | Public Playtest Opens

🚗🍾 BORISTAN: the first playable demo, and the public playtest is OPEN. BORISTAN is a Soviet town in 1987 where the roads are bad, vodka is medicine and the Lada starts on the second try. Not realistic. BORISTIC. ▶ Play free: https://lifeofboris.itch.io/boristan ⬇ Download recommended: the Windows, Mac and Linux versions run MUCH smoother than the browser, which is often limited in FPS and load times. The browser version is there for a quick look or on a phone. ⏰ The playtest ends Tuesday 20 October at 20:00 Eastern European time (EEST): 19:00 Central Europe, 18:00 UK, 17:00 UTC, 13:00 New York, 10:00 Los Angeles. 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/AEHgdjyUyW 🐞 Found a bug?
