PVKK
In PVKK, you play as a cannon pilot for an autocratic regime. You are confined into a defense bunker, manually controlling a gigantic planetary defense cannon in an ongoing interplanetary conflict. You must learn to deal with a variety of systems in order to fend off the ongoing invasion of your home world. This requires you to control your energy generators, scan the airspace for incoming enemy vessels, analyze the situation and execute the fire procedure masterfully. With a small arsenal of weapons and a brilliant strategy, you can not only protect the planet but even do it in an economical way, as resources in the regime are scarce. Ultimately, the safety of your people depend on your skill of controlling the cannon, in calculating the right fire trajectory and going through the fire sequence in a calm and swift way.
For every mission you complete, you will receive upgrades for your defense cannon as a reward, which will help you to survive increasingly difficult missions. Between the missions, you also take care of your bunker, doing maintenance and preparation for the next mission. In the midst of this ongoing war, you may find solace in the small rituals of your private life. After each mission, you can sit down with a newspaper to stay connected to a world beyond the battlefield. Savor a cup of tea, knowing its warmth and familiarity are good for your spirit. Retreat to your cozy bed, where a deep slumber offers a brief escape. These simple routines form the fabric of your small world, a sanctuary you cling to every day amidst the monotony of war. Not all is as well as the regime wants you to believe, though, and soon enough you have to decide who you will be in this seemingly endless conflict.
