Big spasibo to everyone who played BORISTAN and pressed F4. You found bugs, you sent bugs, some of you WERE the bug. Every report went straight into the pot like good borscht.
New build comes later this week: more Lada, more blyat, and fresh new bugs for you to catch. Squat, drink kvass, wait. 🍺
🚨 In BORISTAN we do not "test a little", comrade. We test like Soviet tractor factory: everything, all at once, until something smokes. 🚨
Windows. Mac. Linux. Phone. Xbox pad, PlayStation pad, Steam Controller. Comrade, Boris runs on everything. Even on the ThinkPad. Even on the phone. Even on hope.
The Lada is the same on all of them: falls apart in exactly the same way. This is called cross-platform.
📺 Tonight, Sunday 18 October, 21:00 Eastern European time (EEST), I show the first playable BORISTAN live, and the public playtest opens for everyone. 20:00 Central Europe • 19:00 UK • 18:00 UTC • 14:00 New York • 11:00 Los Angeles
Bring your potato PC. Bring a controller. Bring friends for co-op. Boris brings vodka. 🫡
You are looking at Boris's kiosk. Yes, the one with the "ПРОДУКТЫ" sign. Yes, that is BLYATMOBILE parked outside. No, you cannot have it. Maybe. We see.
BORISTAN is the 1980s Soviet simulator nobody asked for, but everybody needs. Here is what is inside:
🚗 **LADA LIFE.** Real Lada. Starts on the second try, like tradition. Crash it and the mirrors, bumpers and doors fall off. Fix it with blue tape, a hammer, or a good kick. Potholes are real and they are hungry. Boris's Lada has neon, a spoiler, NITROUS and exhaust that goes pop-pop-BANG. There is also a ring road with no potholes. Who paved it? Nobody knows. Probably the Americans.
🍾 **VODKA.** Not decoration. Vodka is a stat. Too sober and your hands shake, your screen goes strange, and slowly you die. Drink responsibly, meaning regularly.
🔫 **GOPNIKS AND THE MAKAROV.** Vadim stole Boris's pot. Get it back. With fists, with Makarov, or by driving the Lada into him. Boris does not judge.
🥣 **COOKING.** Grill shashlik on the mangal, cook borscht in Boris's famous pot, make salad Olivier "like in 1986". Mostly mayonez. Mayonez is also armour. Science.
🧎 **SQUAT.** Squatting heals you. It is not a joke, it is a game mechanic.
🧥 **BORIS HIMSELF.** Kiosk owner, quest giver, narrator. Ushanka, balaclava, white glasses. Totally trustworthy. For now.
Also: Babushka's garden, Cousin Anatoli's garage, a stunt park where a babushka judge gives you a 10 every time, a Lada rally, and everything filmed on a VHS tape from 1987.
📺 **SUNDAY 18 OCTOBER (TIME: TBA): LIVE STREAM.** I show the game, and I announce the PLAYTEST: when, where, and how you can drive the Lada yourself. Be there. Boris will notice who is missing.
