Where's an Egg

unbibiumJust to show you that not all incomprehensible games come from Japan, Videlectrix presents Where's an Egg, or as I call it, "Borat: the Video Game", mostly because all the text is in Cyrillic. One page of the manual was found on an auction website recently and can be found at the Videlectrix website, so look for that here.
It vaguely reminds me of all the stuff I saw coming out of Poland in the early 90's for the Atari 8-bit, only with exaggerated bad graphics.
I haven't played it much, but I think the game works like this: You click on a building, and there's someone there. You ask him a picture, and he answers another picture. If you think someone has the egg, you shoot them. If you're correct, you win the game and the generalissimo gives you the Medal of Excellent Communism. If you're incorrect, you've wasted one out of three available bullets. When you run out of bullets or time, you're sent to Siberia.
If any of you are interested in a genuinely incomprehensible game, I should show you "Gossip", the game that provided the usericon for this post. In it, you call random people on the phone and exchange opinions of other people. I think you're supposed to pit them against each other until you're the most popular, or something.
