CRITICAL REFLEX TO PUBLISH TALLBOYS’ KAFKAESQUE IMMERSIVE SIM MILITSIONER

Watch an extended trailer featuring new gameplay and witness what it takes to survive under the watchful eye of a Giant Policeman

THE CITY – April 16, 2025 – Publisher CRITICAL REFLEX (Mouthwashing, Buckshot Roulette) is thrilled to announce its publishing partnership with indie developer TALLBOYS on Militsioner, a surreal immersive sim in which you must escape a city for a crime you didn’t commit under the oppressive eye of a Giant Policeman. Watch the new extended trailer, showcasing the game’s dynamic world and exploration, choice-driven action, reactive relationships and more!

You're an ordinary nobody who hasn't done anything noteworthy, let alone...a crime. Must be a mistake, but this morning you were arrested. Pack your stuff and leave as fast as possible, but be wary – every move you make is being followed by a Giant Policeman. Navigate the city and escape in an engaging experience where every problem has multiple solutions. But keep on guard. The town and the Giant are watching your every move.

Militsioner’s new trailer offers an extended look at its expansive world and gameplay, including:

Non-Linear Action: You have tons of freedom to find your own solution to each obstacle. Decide how to spend your time, where to go, who to trust…or snitch on. Run, hide, sneak around, bribe, lie, and manipulate others to get what you want, or break the law and steal what you need. The risks – and the rewards – are yours to discover.
Tamagotchi-like Relationships: Every character – including the Giant – has their own mood you can influence with a reactive conversation system. Keep the townsfolk happy with flattery and gifts, but be careful not to upset them or they may try to turn you in. You can even go on a date with the Giant! Just be mindful when he’s on duty…
Dynamic World & Exploration: The city is alive and constantly changing, with new people, places, and secrets around every corner. Each character has their own schedule, and you can change the time of day to find new ways forward. Real-time flooding opens up new areas to discover, and even the eclipse comes with its own intense surprises.

Militsioner is available to wishlist now on Steam. For more information, follow TALLBOYS on Twitter, CR Channel on Twitter, and join the CR Channel Discord community for the latest news, engaging discussions and more.
