About

In Save Koch you play mafia Godfather, who is basically besieged inside his own panic room. Danger-danger! Someone in the Сity decided to take your place, and there is a sleeper “mole” inside your Family, who is acting as we speak. Time is running out, you have only six days to solve the plot, resolve who is standing behind this conspiracy, resolve the problem and send the challenger to feed the fish. Each new game session of Save Koch is played in a completely different manner. At the start, the game shuffles the NPCs deck, which leads to all game events and, subsequently, your methods will be completely unique to that particular game session. It’s as if you were playing your favorite desktop game with a bunch of friends — you’ve just beat the game, but the fun only begins! Make strategic decisions, join unexpected alliances, hire detectives, bribe or even torture witnesses, if your tastes up to; do everything to find that criminal mastermind who challenges you. And also flush out that hiding mole. And also not become a victim. Each decision has consequences: for the residents of the city of New Kandinski, for your thugs, Family, and, in fact, for you. At stake is life.

    Save Koch overall is built incredibly cleverly. The way the characters are written, as members of a criminal organisation all with an exploitable weakness or a possible motive to harm you, makes it a fun challenge to guess who is the culprit each time. You have to look out for minor changes in the story.

    Save Koch is impressive in the weight of its narrative choices, but a little cushioning could have gone a long way in making unraveling its mystery more enticing.

    If the idea of a game that lets you poke around and learn everything on your own, you’ll have some fun with Save Koch‘s wacky, hectic world. There’s a lot to like if you have the patience to figure it out. But if you prefer your sim games with clear instructions, then you’d better pass on this one.

    A non-linear strategic simulation for those who like to try and try again. Save Koch had a lot of potential but is weighted by a lack of rewarding gameplay which makes its mystery unmotivating and eventually un-exciting to continue with.

    The visuals are simple, but the cartoon drawings of all the characters are colourful and nicely done. The city map looks good and the small cutscenes that play out feel well-made and interesting to watch. And I have to say, the menus are clever and interesting as well. The soundtrack is also fun and bounces along nicely with the action.

    Between a strict time limit, ruthless enemies, and heavy consequences, Save Koch is an intense sleuthing experience that’s held back by minor technical issues. Each round is unique enough to give this game a healthy shelf life.
