Dark times mean fear and risks. The risk to be caught by patrolling National Socialists, looking for people who publicly stand against their point of view. The risk of being beaten up or even killed by the German military because we‘re opposing the regime. The risk of losing everything, including our loved ones. This is how we live. This is how we try to survive. Through the darkest of times.

Plan, Act, Survive
You are the leader of a small resistance group in 1933’s Berlin, of ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply can’t stand aside. Your goal is to deal with small blows to the regime – dropping leaflets to spread awareness about what the Nazis are really up to among the people, painting messages on walls, sabotaging, gathering information and recruiting more followers. And all of that while staying undercover – if the regime’s forces learn about your group, the life of each member is in grave danger.

Experience history
Through the Darkest of Times is a historical resistance strategy game, focusing on conveying the somber mood of the period and the very real struggles of average people living in the 3rd Reich. Historical accuracy means that your small group of resistance fighters will not change the outcome of the war, nor will you prevent all of the Nazi’s atrocities, but you can certainly do everything in your power to save as many lives as you can and oppose the fascist system wherever possible.

Features:

● Experience the Darkest of Times in 4 chapters
● Fight for freedom, weaken the regime and lead your resistance group
● Plan activities, find collaborators and try not to get caught
● Feel the weight of responsibility as you make difficult decisions and face the dire consequences
● Beautifully illustrated expressionistic scenes and events

User reviews

Fantastic and eerily relevant. As an historian of war and genocide this is incredibly well done. I was particularly impressed that it included the Roma. The history is so well presented and the alignment with the present is subtle but unnerving. Bravo!

I like this game a lot, but if I had any complaint, is that when you have a full group(five) and you try to confirm a mission, it's really difficult to hit"confirm" because of the profiles being located so closely to the mission confirmation. Also, losing inventory items, even through the different acts, is tiresome. 90% of the bigger missions you can't complete because you don't have the items. Not to mention it isn't very clear how to even attain items for certain missions. Glad it was $1.

A great narrative telling of life with Nazi Germany. Very artistic game. Every shot is as if it was a picture from a camera. Only play issue is selecting bottons can be pretty hard sometimes.
