About this game

KGB is a point-and-click adventure set in August 1991, shortly before the collapse of the USSR. Players take the role of KGB officer Maksim Rukov, who is transferred to the newly formed Department P to investigate corruption within the KGB and uncover possible double-agents and traitors.

The game uses a pseudo-first-person perspective and an interface based heavily on Cryo Interactive Entertainment’s Dune. Players can also rewind to the beginning of chapters to correct mistakes. An enhanced CD-ROM re-release, retitled Conspiracy, added video sections featuring Donald Sutherland as Rukov’s father, providing hints and clues.

Platforms: Amiga, Commodore Amiga, DOS, and MS-DOS.
