The poverty

How would you like to be an alien in the mythical country of Varsovia?

As an alien living in Varsovia, chances are you'll struggle a lot because you're unknown, underpaid and poor.

Additionally you'll likely have to take a drug test and authorize a group of total strangers, including a detective agency (gumshoe) and their employees, to investigate you and your background.

Why? Because in Varsovia you're a criminal and illegal drug user, unless you prove yourself innocent. And also because Varsovia is a fear culture where the exaggerated fears are omnipresent. ...More >>
