You Are Empty
|
Set in the 50s, You Are Empty tells about some of the developments of Soviet scientists, the use of which should improve all aspects of life. As always, everything is going terribly wrong, and almost everything mutates into incredible monsters. The main character, who was supposed to attend the decisive meeting as a security guard, but did not get there due to a car accident and ended up in the hospital, comes to his senses after what happened, and now he must figure it out.
While an interesting concept at first glance, in YAE eventually was realized only about half of the original intentions. In the end, the game suffered severely from criticism, mainly mentioning a poorly worked out plot (the development of which was also originally conceived, but remained one of the unrealized aspects) and banal gameplay.
The following weapons appear in the video game You Are Empty:
Handguns
Mauser C96 Hybrid
The hybrid of original Mauser C96 and the Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer is available in the game, referred to simply as "Mauser". The weapon lacks the M712's fire selector and shoots only with single shots, meaning that it is generally a C96 with the M712's detachable magazines. It is modelled with 10 rounds magazine, but holds only 9 rounds. Ammunition in the form of spare magazines can be found here and there in the game. In the game C96 also shows used by government agents, who attack both monsters and the player.
It is worth noting that at the time of the events of the game, the C96 was considered an outdated model, so its massive use would be unrealistic.
Submachine Guns
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41. In-game, seen used by the paratroopers, one of the few non-undead enemies who were apparently sent to deal with the situation, but were themselves influenced.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is one of the weapons available, including a usable bayonet. The game manual inexplicably describes this as a chambered for .375 round (a massive big game cartridge, that Mosin-Nagant understandably never used). Appears in both standard and sniper variants. Also carried in the game by undead soldiers (for whatever reason, wearing insanely outdated uniforms, canceled by the mid-1920s).
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Grenades
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate. For some reason, they are only used by enemies, and the player can only get them through console commands. The massive use of German grenades after the war is not entirely clear (and their fillings are known to be poorly shelf-stable); perhaps the developers confused them with the Soviet RGD-33.
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910/30
The Maxim M1910/30 is available to the player only through console commands. It is capable of firing only from a stationary position.
