Considering one of the main accusations surrounding Atomic Hearts was that the gameplay trailers that built so much excitement may have been faked and prerendered, the brief glimpses of development builds we see in Makarenkov's video is promising evidence that the game isn't too far off what we've already seen.
The video is a hefty 45 minutes long, in Russian, with poorly-translated English subtitles, and most of it explains in painful detail things we really didn't need to know. Did we really need to know that stamina dictates how often you can attack, or that if you stay in water too long, you'll drown? Probably not. There are a few small tidbits that make the video worth paying attention to, though.

The most interesting bit is how the enemies in each area form their own ecosystemsthe example given being how the bee-like security cameras 'live' in a hive together, and will emerge from that to hunt you down should you be detected by another enemy. If they can't find you, they'll instead go through the level and repair enemies you've already destroyed. However, hacking or turning off a hive will limit how many of these bee-drones are active, making exploring the level and picking your targets more important.
