Just Cause Я (pronounced Just Cause ja) is a game (FFP) being developed by G1W. It is set in the country of Shrevigrad, and takes place before the events of Just Cause 1. It focuses more on the Collectathon and combat elements of the Just Cause series. Notably, there are multiple endings.
Just Cause Я is a lot more open than the other Just Cause games, with there only being 6 Missions. (1 at the start of the game, and 1 depending on the ending.)
Story[]
The year is 1993. Shrevigrad is a country of the coast of Siberia, north of Russia. The country has fallen into a civil war between the Royalists, who support the current appointed ruler of Shrevigrad, Tsar Vinogradov III, and the Presidentialists, who want a democratic government; similar to how it was before the Soviet Union had invaded Shrevigrad in the year 1955.
Shrevigrad has a very unusual climate, being very warm and almost paradise-like even though it is in one of the coldest places on Earth. This is due to an element named "Shrevirum". There is a layer of it beneath the 5 Shrevigradian islands, and it also has some very unusual properties that are researched throughout the game. A covert of the CIA, "The Agency" takes heavy interest into the element of Shrevirum. They plan to hijack the civil war and put in place their own puppet government so they can research Shrevirum.
Right before the events of JCЯ take place, there is a breakthrough in Shrevirum research - it is possible to transport yourself temporarily to alternate universes when the right conditions are met. This is a major focus point in the in-game story.
Gameplay[]

Vehicles can be modified to change color, and also add certain skins. You can also obtain Vehicles through Shrevirum Transport.
