"Kudos is a country ruled by Eklat Group, a tyrant and oppressor group that wants to turn all people equally within a pre-determined pattern. And they need someone to do the dirty work. That someone is the you." GLORY is a game where you are a shooter in service to a totalitarian state. You must kill people following the description of a photo by simply clicking on them. For each person killed, more points you earn to be promoted and thus passing phase. The main idea of the game is to raise the issue that the state should not have the power to judge, this is particular of each individual and that when we give that power to the state, we have a totalitarian government.

So, um, as a demo that's somewhat good, but as standalone game - not so much.
* Story. What the actual hell is happening? If I'm correct, PC becomes a conscript, then goes through boot camp (which seems to be local amusement park's shooting range), then stand behind some barricades and fire at unarmed civilians, whose only crime was, supposedly, dressing in t-shirt of wrong colour or growing a moustache, constantly named brave for that, and... that's it. I see no plot here, not even a semblance. Papers, please was not all about paperwork or occasional shooting, it was more about surviving in capricious and mercurial police state.
* Gameplay. No thought given at all. You has rifle, the one same dumb linear location (two, if you count "tutorial"), bunch of random dudes, moving on rails, and pic of dudes who break the dress-code. Thats it. Oh, and it's short, very short. Hell, Tactical Assassin is 10 freaking years old, and still offers better gameplay. You coud have make your game at least slightly better by making more than 5 variations of targets and changing their movement patterns once in while.
* Art. Disproportional bodies, horrendously low level of detail, lots of sharp edges (look at least at that lieutinant's beret, dammit!), and shading was outlawed looong time ago along with facial features and non-acidic colours.
* Other. If I really was such shooter, first guy who I'd shot is that git? who was picking names. Eklat and Kudos, for God-Emperor's sake!
Sorry for occasional errors, English is not my native language.

dis-abling adblock gets you a game advert but game still does not load same problem as herobrinetrollin

1.takes to much browser memory .
2.does not have a mute button
3.what story I did see had shaky English
4.during 5th mission I suddenly got a "and all thanks to you screen" and the game seems to have ended
5.there is no shooting skill needed people just go in 1 line. duck part was the hard one.
6. during one of mission the type I needed took so long to show up that time almost ran out and during the other they moved so fast it became unwinable
7.we already have tons of "totalitarianism is bad" games why not do it from other point of view even tongue in cheek. also in a constitutional democracy, areas in which people need to be equal is also determined by government also often giving privilege to particular minorities and legal system is all about judgement especially for repeat offenders.I can vaguely puzzle out what you are saying but you are not saying it well, saying anything new or different from the main stream point of view
8. more variety in how the prisoners looked would have been nice.

I'm also getting an error on loading screen... tried refreshing the game, but it still sticks on the Loading phase every time. I'm digging the logotype and interface so far, subtlle scrolling texture in the background... but that's as far as I get. Story seems compelling too, a game with a message, hope you can get it fixed!

HoytHoyGames responds:

Thanks!
Our programmer is fixing this problem.

Game did not work for me - it was stuck on the loading screen for over 4 hours.
I really wish I would have been able to play this - it probably would've gotten a better rating. There is, however, no use in promoting a broken game. I had to blam this, unfortunately.

HoytHoyGames responds:

We will take a look at what is happening.
Thanks for the warning!
