Given the on-going context of the situation in Ukraine, some have questioned the intent and appropriateness of Mudfish's recent game, ATOMIC HEART, which released on the one year anniversary of the 2022 Russian invasion. In this video essay, Jorin makes the case for why, though flawed, Atomic Heart may actually be the very opposite thing it's been accused of.

****************************
"In an alternate [timeline], the Soviet Union...at its apex of power... dispatches you to investigate its supremely secretive Facility No 3826. It is imperative that you recover the artifact that Dr. Stockhausen was experimenting with there: the Atomic Heart. Since all contact with the facility was lost, rumors have begun to creep out, warning of horrific abominations gone amok, some biological, some machine, and some unknowable."
