The game is praised for its unique premise, immersive atmosphere, and overall great execution of the original idea. It is a great indie experience people are still gladly going back to, even six years after its release.

"Of course, games are already being used in education for teaching maths, chemistry, and developing cognitive abilities, but I don't think we've ever encountered a game being officially included in the educational system on a national level as school reading," said 11 bit Studios CEO Grzegorz Miechowski in a statement.

The game will be included in the Polish reading list for the 2020/21 academic year. Due to the theme of the game and its rating in Poland, the game will be available only to students aged 18 and above.

Those who are studying sociology, ethics, philosophy, and history will have access to the game available for free, as a part of their education.
