Description
Hard To Be A God follows the story of Anton, an undercover operative from future Earth, who journeys to an alien world where the culture remains entrenched in the Middle Ages.
Despite possessing knowledge far more advanced than the society that surrounds him, Anton is bound by strict orders to refrain from interfering with the natural progression of history. His role is to observe rather than engage with the world around him.
However, remaining a mere spectator becomes increasingly challenging as Anton confronts the pervasive cruelty and injustice of this primitive society. Can he truly remain aloof in such dire circumstances?
