Press release:
March 30th, Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The Ostrava-based (Czech Republic) indie games publisher Perun Creative and Moravian-Silesian-based (Czech Republic) indie games developer Latest Past, are today very happy and excited to announce that their Post-Soviet Czech Republic-themed FPS game “Kvark, is now in development for PC (you can wishlist “Kvark” right now via Steam!).

It’s the late 80s in the Post-Soviet Czech Republic. Times are tough. People are struggling to find a job that pays well enough to put food on the table. So when a job opportunity arrives to start working for Kvark – a pure nuclear energy company looking for miners to work in the uranium mines, you don’t think twice.

It’s hard, it’s dangerous, and yet, thanks to Kvark’s sophisticated propaganda, there are countless applicants for such demanding work. So you are overjoyed when, finally, after a successful interview, you are taken underground as a new employee…

Add the game to your Steam wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2319390/Kvark/) to follow its development.

The recruitment went well, but the happy thrill didn’t last, and it quickly turned into fear upon waking up alone, locked in a dark cell. The last thing you remember is the onboarding at reception.

Now you are awakened by the sound of nearby explosions and shouting. Confused by not only the surrounding chaos, but also the drastic change in surroundings, you struggle to grasp the situation. All the cells are open and those once locked within are long gone. Seems like you’re the last prisoner in this terrifying facility.

How did you end up in this mess? Why did everybody escape? What the hell is going on? Those are but a few questions ringing in your head louder than the sirens and emergency calls around you.
