Martial Law

Martial Law is an interactive game that allows players to experience the challenges and complexities of living in Poland during the communist era. The game is designed as a visual novel, where players make choices that determine the outcome of the story. With multiple endings, players can explore different paths and see how their decisions impact the characters and the overall narrative.

One of the main features of Martial Law is its focus on Polish culture during the communist era. Through the game, players can learn more about this period in history and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and struggles faced by the people living under martial law. This adds an educational element to the game, making it not only entertaining but also informative.

The game also delves into personal and family issues, allowing players to solve problems and conflicts within the game's storyline. This adds a human element to the game, making it relatable and engaging for players. Additionally, players may encounter challenges and even physical altercations with other characters, such as being beaten up by a "comrade" for debating. This adds a level of intensity and realism to the game.

Players also have the opportunity to interact with a grumpy old man, adding a touch of humor to the game. They can also make their in-game child happy, adding a heartwarming aspect to the gameplay. The game's tagline, "Make right choices, or don't. It's up to you," emphasizes the player's agency and the impact of their decisions on the game's outcome.

Martial Law was originally developed during the GameJam Polskigamedev.PL 2021, showcasing the talent and creativity of Polish game developers. With its unique concept and engaging gameplay, Martial Law offers players a chance to experience a significant period in Polish history and make their own choices in a dynamic and immersive game environment.
