    There's yet another Polish post-apoc indie cRPG in the works, caled <a target=_blank href=http://www.burzuazja-rpg.prv.pl/>Burzuazja</a> (Bourgeoisie). For now the site is Polish only, as the <a target=_blank href=http://burzuazja.republika.pl/index2.htm>English version</a> "is not finish". They are for now working on the graphics engine.

    I don't know any Polish, but judging by the title, I can make a random, uneducated guess as to what the game is about. It sounds kind of like you live in some random, crappy, poor European country, oppressed by capitalist-imperialists. As is fashionable, your main quest revolves around a Communist revolution. You get cool items like red flags, and shitty weapons supplied to you by your Socialist neighbors. The soundtrack includes such hits as the "Internationale." However, all is not well in the land of the Proletariat! After ridding your country of the oppressive borgiousie, you discover that the evil capitalists are building up forces and unrest in a nearby country. Your final mission then becomes to invade the haven of imperialists - Poland! (That's the punch line!)

    It's a post apocalyptic game, not a game leading up to the apocalypse. I'd hazard a guess that the title might have something to do with the cause of said apocalypse. BTW, I love how they saw screenshot in Polish, and art and render for that matter; it's a very wholesome language. :D

    EDIT: Looks like they resurrected Gizmo as a spider-robot man http://burzuazja.republika.pl/pliki/arty/lud1.jpg

    Double EDIT: God damned Pols and their tricky anti-leeching methods.

    Or, you play in the crumbling remnant of an eastern european country where, after you have divvied up formerly State property to criminal interests and buddies of the politicians, are shocked when those people form sham corporations and use the State to crush their competition. Then when everyone gets poorer due to these mafia using the State to gain more power and influence and avoid anything resembling competition by regulating all rival businesses to death (or just killing them) you claim that "the market obviously does not work" and lead a "heroic" revolution, nationalizing everything and starting the cycle anew in an endless yin yang of suck.

    "is not finish".

    Hah. That shit cracks me up, dude. The market is going to be flooded with a torrent of action games of roles pretty soon.
