KGB (video game)

KGB, also known as Conspiracy, is a point-and-click adventure game released in 1992 by Cryo Interactive Entertainment. The game is set in Moscow, Russia, in 1991, during the final days of the Soviet Union. The player assumes the role of Captain Valeriy Leonov, a recently demoted KGB agent who must uncover a conspiracy that threatens the stability of the government.

The gameplay focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and dialogue. Players navigate environments, collect items, and interact with non-player characters (NPCs) to gather clues and progress the story. The game is notable for its branching narrative, multiple endings, and realistic portrayal of Soviet-era Moscow. Decisions made by the player throughout the game directly impact the story and the fate of the characters involved.

The game's interface uses a verb-object system, where players select an action (such as "Look," "Use," or "Talk") and then apply it to an object or NPC. Dialogue trees allow for detailed conversations and the extraction of vital information.

KGB's plot revolves around political intrigue, assassinations, and the struggle for power within the KGB and the Soviet government. The game's narrative is complex and requires careful attention to detail to fully understand the conspiracy at hand. The game's tone is serious and reflects the tense political climate of the time period.
