The Really Series Game Company Releases Chapter 2 For Real Army Simulator

Toronto developer Really Serious Game Company, which is comprised of @yifatshaik, and @techknight, released Chapter 2 of Real Army Simulator which is a 'satirical choose-your-own adventure narrative game based on @yifatshaik two mandatory service years in the Israeli Army.  You can check out details about the game, as well as a trailer and screenshots below:

The game tries to emulate my personal experience and present the army less as glorified heroic endeavour but rater as a more mundane and at time ridiculous experience. The game follows the daily routine of a soldier working in the army computer helpdesk. At each stop of the day, the player is presented with a dilemma on how to behave in a certain situation. There answer determines how the day will end- going home, getting detention or guard duty. Not all choices are obvious, answer that the player might think are better might (following the army logic) be the wrong one!
