Mmmm mmmm, delicious slavjank - that immediate feeling of "what is this? No seriously, WHAT IS THIS?" when you boot up a game. The confusing gameplay elements taken from different genres, the attempt at survival horror where you have too many resources and your enemies are more confusing than terrifying. The ambitious story told with all the care a microbudget can allow. 

I've been sitting on this one for a while. About a year ago, I tracked down a copy of this game on  the suggestions of patrons - it didn't work under Windows 10 and I abandoned it. Until someone linked me to a patched version that I immediately booted up. I couldn't stop playing it. I had to see where this thing went. These kinds of games can't simply be described, only shown, reflected in the individual player's descent into madness.

Well that's an eye catching title if I ever saw one

Fun fact. Those jars actualy contain pure alcohol. So, like a true slav, your character heals by chugging alcohol. XD

In the future Civvie if you have issue with older games, give DxWnd a try if you haven't already :) worked for me with a 1999 game (Hype: The Time Quest) alongside I think nGlide.

So what is the difference between Slavjank and Eurojank I always saw them as mostly the same thing

Seconds after seeing the nurse enemy... silent jank? slavic hill?

Shiiit, I saw Jarekgamingdragon cover this a while back and found a torrent on a whim. Had a similar bafflingly good time beating it.

Instant classic.

Love this strange eastern european jank. Get Übersoldier, it's in the same vein, but about killing nazis instead. Also you play a dude that can emit a fancy-ass forcefield that stops bullets. And it has über in the name, and as we know, anything with ümlauts is worth trying.

Drawing clocks? Niiiice. In my lab, we just get sent to the stanchions 'cause the ticks need to feed and store-bought blood is super expensive.

Wow I haven't thought about the Hoboken Chicken Emergency in a long time, Also, I'm pretty sure thanks to internet videos I've heard the Soviet national anthem more times than the American one.

Civie! You need to let us know where we can get these games! I know you play them so we don't have to, but damn this one looks like a good ride XD

I'm thinking we that we need to start coming up with Slavjank Strata. You Are Empty definitely belongs to a higher Slavjank Strata, along with, say, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, Atomic RPG, Chaser and the like. I'd like to see the reaction Civvie gets from some true Slavjank, like The Void. That clock won't even be circular any more. (pro-tip: Chaser and The Void would be EXCELLENT episodes)

TonySki

Question, are the random cuts supposed to look like glitch transitions to go with the SlavJank or is that an accident?

Planescaped

Wait.... so a plague made people zombies? But also made people crazy, but also made dogs steampunk cybernetic? This game has "made by 3 first year college students" written all over it.

I played and beat this game years ago... I actually liked it, but it's ball breakingly hard, not as hard as Hell Forces, but in the exact same vein (and by the looks of things, the same engine too) :)

"It's jank-o'clock". I want that on my coffee mug 'cause that's a bumper sticker right there.

Great episode! I like the new "Katie style" and the music. Thanks to both of you! P.S.: More Cancer Mouse!

This game looked like it was made by highly disturbed individuals who only moved from the art to the gameplay once the barbiturates kicked in.
