COLOGNE, Germany – Aug. 20, 2025 – Indie game publisher CRITICAL REFLEX (Mouthwashing, Buckshot Roulette), in collaboration with developer TALLBOYS, released a new gameplay trailer for the fantastical immersive sim Militsioner during today’s FGS Live show at gamescom.

The titular colossal Militsioner demanded that the following information be provided with a few fresh details on what players can expect!

• You’re Always Being Watched - You can run, but you can’t hide from the Militsioner. Everything you do is monitored – from stealing, to vandalism, to being a menace to the local townsfolk.
• Judgment Is Inevitable - There will be moments where you’ll have to decide what kind of person you are – and the town responds accordingly. Maybe you can build goodwill through meaningful conversations and have the townsfolk assist you. Or perhaps you’re more likely to use people as pawns to achieve your goals. Either way, the town always remembers.
• There’s No Such Thing As A Simple Escape - This immersive sim isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll need to learn the lay of the land, wait until the Militsioner is at his most vulnerable, and put your escape plan into action. But be warned. The consequences of a failed scheme could cost more than you’re willing to pay.

Curious, brave players can jump right into the live playtest today and wishlist Militsioner on Steam. You’ll have to wait a little longer for a concrete release date. But, hey. If Militsioner is nothing else, he’s a patient giant!
