Ever wondered what it’s like to hold absolute power over facts, history, and the truth itself? Ukrainian indie developer False Memory Dept. and publisher Two Cakes Studio have officially launched their deeply immersive, story-driven dystopian simulator: Ministry of Truth: False Memory.
Drawing rich, unsettling inspiration from George Orwell’s masterpiece 1984, this gripping title throws players into the shoes of a bureaucratic official working inside the Party’s propaganda machine. Under the watchful eye of “The Great Father,” every pen stroke, redacted document, and altered memory you craft will ripple through society—ultimately shaping the fate of the state and your own morality.
Obey the State or Burn the System Down?
In Ministry of Truth: False Memory, you aren’t just reading propaganda—you are actively creating it. As an official of the Ministry, your duty is to suppress dangerous doubts, alter historical records, govern crowd emotions, and serve the Party’s endless thirst for total control.
Key mechanics and gameplay highlights include:
- The Daily Rituals: Participate in propaganda campaigns, including the chilling “Five Minutes Rage”—a daily ritual where citizens funnel their fear and frustration into collective fury against enemies of the Party.
- Over 20 Mini-Games: From redacting sensitive files to manipulating headlines and controlling citizen sentiment, the game blends interactive narrative mechanics with over two dozen unique gameplay challenges.
- 10+ Animated Comic Sequences: The story unfolds visually through stylised, darkly detailed animated comics that bring the heavy narrative atmosphere to life.
- 6 Unique Endings: Every decision matters. Will you remain a submissive cog in the totalitarian machine, or will you risk your life to covertly resist the regime from within?
Optimised for Handhelds & Global Audiences
Whether you prefer playing at a desktop setup or taking your propaganda sessions on the go, Ministry of Truth: False Memory offers full controller and Steam Deck support right out of the box.
To deliver a fully immersive storytelling experience, the game features complete voice acting in both Ukrainian and English, alongside text localisation in 22 languages, making its universal themes of censorship and power accessible to gamers worldwide.
Born out of the Global Game Jam 2025 and recognised as a top finalist in the Ctrl+Alt+Disinfo game competition, this debut project from False Memory Dept. delivers a tight, high-impact narrative experience designed to leave players questioning the nature of power, information, and personal agency.

Ministry of Truth: False Memory is available now on PC via Steam for $6.99 (with a special limited-time introductory discount at launch). A Supporter Pack—featuring the official soundtrack, exclusive wallpapers, digital comics, and a full developer diary—is also available for fans wanting to dive deeper into the making of the game.
