Red Comrades 6: New Reality

A video game developed by the Russian studio Saturn Plus and published by Buka on October 13, 2005, for Windows, it is the sixth installment in the humorous point-and-click adventure series featuring Petka and Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev. This is the first game in the series to be fully rendered in 3D, utilizing three-dimensional character and object models on pre-rendered backgrounds. The story begins with the protagonists sending Anka to fetch beer, but she ends up in a parallel world where she encounters a conflict between the Forces of Light and Darkness, parodying Sergei Lukyanenko's novel "Night Watch." In this world, Anka witnesses a murder, meets a talking head, and learns about the struggle between the Light and Dark sides, represented by characters named after beer brands—Gösser and Heineken. Petka and Chapaev set out to find her, facing various obstacles, including encounters with ghouls, mummies, Jedi, and other characters parodying elements of pop culture. The gameplay is a classic third-person point-and-click adventure, allowing control of three characters—Petka, Chapaev, and Anka—each possessing unique abilities. Players must solve puzzles, interact with characters and objects, use inventory items, and navigate between locations using a map. The game received mixed reviews: critics praised the improved graphics and sound design but criticized the storyline and character dialogues.
