Set during the dying throes of the Soviet Union, 1992 KGB puts you in the unenviable shoes of Captain Maksim Rukov, recently transferred to Department P from GRU, whose job is to ferret out corruption. (Good luck.) Your first case is to investigate the petty murder of a private eye; naturally, there's more to it than that, and you become further entangled in a conspiracy involving the CIA, mind-control experiments, and a possible military coup.Adventure games are notorious for their instant deaths and dead-ends, but none are quite so merciless as KGB. The murder mystery is actually a MacGuffin: The real goal of the game is to survive the Red Bureaucracy. Don't mess up and get reassigned to a desk job, don't get killed, don't get beaten up, don't get sent to a gulag, don't get beaten up and sent to a gulag, don’t get beaten up and killed, etc. Your investigation is being closely monitored, and at various points you're quizzed on what you've discovered. Answer incorrectly... well, you can probably guess what happens there, too. Make no mistake, you'll lose and lose and lose, eventually falling into the habit of lying to everybody, all the time—except on occasion where lying will get you killed or sent to a gulag.Less a game than a social experiment, KGB ingeniously evokes the paranoia inside a repressive regime, where an off-color joke can buy you a trip to Siberia.KGB was ported to CD in 1993 with some rather odd additions. Rather than adding voices or redbook music, they instead cast Donald Sutherland, dressed him up as a Russkie, and inserted him as the FMV ghost of your father. They even changed the title to Conspiяacy: Featuring Donald Sutherland.

Cool Old Guy: Uncle Vanya was in the car of Rukov's parents when it exploded and killed them both. He was sitting at the back and survived, but has been confined to a wheelchair since then. Unbeknownst to Rukov, he is still working undercover for the KGB, and secretly arranged for Rukov's transfer at Department P so he could investigate on the New Birth project, in which Rukov's parents' assassins are also involved.

Bottomless Bladder: Averted. Bathrooms exist (and can be plot-relevant), and you have to visit one periodically (the game tells the player when it's time). If you don't, you'll pee in your pants, but nothing else comes of it.

comment
Split Personality: Tsibulenko specialises in giving them to people. Golvbev has two personalities as a result of his experiments — one is Bolshevik and one is anti-Bolshevik. They can be switched between with the trigger word "saliva", but he's still an imbecile. Rechetov also has two personalities which have the trigger of "Pavlov", even if they're identical.

It's Cuban: Agabekov's possession of Cuban cigars is one of many clues that he's corrupt. This in spite of how the U.S.S.R. was a close ally of Cuba and never imposed any trade embargo against them; Cuban cigars were the kind of luxury a Soviet bigwig would be most likely to possess.

Make It Look Like an Accident: Although Galushkin acts friendly towards Rukov, he only wishes to use him as a pawn for the New Birth conspiracy, and in the past ordered the assassination of his parents. He claimed that it was a terrorist attack and he personally executed the killers- in reality, the "terrorists" he killed were unrelated to the crime.

Tested on Humans: Most of Tsibulenko's human test subjects are disasters: one patient is a catatonic imbecile, lying in a fetal position and oblivious to the world around him; another has two personalities which are virtually identical (except one is Bolshevik and the other anti-Bolshevik); a third patient is able to talk, but none of his sentences make sense. Even Protopopov is kind of a joke; he can only spout rhetoric for a few minutes and fall back into a coma.

Schmuck Bait: To distract Chapkin, you have to hide the recorder in the bedroom, set it up, and once he leads you to the bathroom, tell him you're ready to "talk" to set him for a chance to distract him and seize the opportunity to attack... Or you can explain that's just the recorder. Once a taxi arrives, you can ask the driver to follow Agabekov's car... Or go to the V.I. Lenin Museum of Socialist Accomplishment.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Chapkin attempts to stab you with a Truth Serum. You can use the syringe on him instead—but it kills within minutes, so make your questions snappy. Your encounter with Professor Tsibulenko begins with him locking Rukov in a padded room and trying to convince him that his personality isn't real, and that the whole game is a delusion. It's pretty easy to lure Tsibulenko in his own cell, then torment him via intercom until he has a claustrophobic fit and collapses.

Just Following Orders: Averted. Rukov does a lot of crap because his bosses will kill him if he doesn't (and also because playing along is the only way to ferret out worse criminals). But even then, some things- like murdering a innocent man who can't fight back- can never be justified. The only way Rukov can survive to (presumably) see the end of the Soviet regime is to reject its selfish ideology himself.

Double Reverse Quadruple Agent: Vovlov ostensibly answers to Uncle Vanya, but is really a triple agent: he pretends to have infiltrated the New Birth project as a double agent to inform on them, but he actually supports the coup against Gorbachev. When Protopopov is kidnapped and Rukov shows up, Vovlov realizes that the whole plan has gone to shit; he thus makes a last-minute attempt to switch sides, and probably claim that he prevented the conspiracy and receive all the credit.
