sen
(EN: A Dream)
I had a dream about a house where I could only go upstairs. The higher I was, the bigger and more spacious the spaces were. The floors got rid of uselessness and were replaced by functionality. The space in them became more spacious. In the end, I was the only thing left. Me and emptiness without a human dimension. So what? Fortunately it was just a dream…

pěšec

poznámka

PC game
Imagine the dilemma; report of the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia will get to you on the morning of August 21 in Brussels, the previous day you participated in the international briefing of the Jewish Masonic counter-revolutionary forces preparing the capitalist coup in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Will you return to the Czechoslovakia even though everything may be lost? Will you be able to redistribute ammo from the secret firearm stockpiles in time?
After a long leave in the West, you return to Bohemia. The situation has changed significantly since your last stay. On your way you will have to step out of the conformity of anonymity and fight your way to a successful counter-revolution! Of course, with the wit and disarming charm that your character itself emits into space. So who are you going to fight?
-his bro is unable to close the door
-cuckold bourgeois
-weakness for interrogation
-simply deportable by the state police
-neurobi federaciju
Politicians, militiamen, policemen, saints, artists and students… even submachine guns and tanks – all is against you. You have to get tuned properly to succeed. Therefore, throw in the right flow soundtrack of the Vysehrad riders, which will create the right nationalist atmosphere.
