Will play best on mobile in portrait!

UPDATE: Added Russian language.

The Summon is a game criticizing the mobilization in Russia and addressing the issue of people simply taking summons and going to the commissariat.

DON'T TAKE THE SUMMON DON'T GO TO THE COMMISSARIAT

It is made as a clone of Reigns and every 10 seconds the decision will be made for you, rarely a good one.

This felt more like an experience than a game. The drawings hit home and the pulsing music was a nice touch. I could imagine a game that is themed the same way but requires more user interaction and consequences.

I don’t know, I don’t like this type of games(((

I love reigns). 10 seconds is not the best feature to implement in such a genre, but the game itself is nice))

I really really liked this one! Love games like this

LDJam user 2333474 Oct 2022, 09:44

I agree, not much relation to theme, but all in all neat.

"Sadly" no bad ending encountered, which I would have added.

@xparker I was beaten by the police, rot in prison, and died....no idea what you are talking about xD

I really liked this. Like @alphabetasoup said it was more of an experience but it was well done and had a very ominous feel to it. It took me a couple of goes to realize that left was yes and right was no but once I understood that I played through a few times to see where the story went based on my decisions. The art and narrative were very good. Great job!

Great job. Really managed to convey the mood off the situations.

this was... interesting, at first I didn't realize you can swipe so I just sat there waiting lol, tried all combinations because I'm too much of a completionist to not do so. found a "glitch in the system" where you can keep throwing molotovs at the commissariat again and again. I like the idea of this game, war is no joke. well done!

Nice work.

Great presentation. Didn't expect there to be this many branches.

LDJam user 28106020 Oct 2022, 03:22

Very simple and fun! I love how many choices and outcomes there are. Impressive entry. Very polished

Very nice game about current situation. Nicely drawn, quite innovative and with nice audio. Only thing I would like to have is longer gameplay, but I get that it is almost impossible with such a short time. Well done.

Nice game! I loved the art style of it. Have you made it yourself? Good job!
