Dec. 2024

An exciting and dramatic entry in the underrated Choices Matter genre. A good blend of Disco Elysium and classic Telltale gameplay makes for a can't miss narrative experience. Every choice feels impactful and there is quite a lot of branching paths your journey can take. Gerda is a great protagonist and I was glad to have her be my companion through a little piece of World War 2 history. Good game!

Nov. 2024

It's a great game! Choices really DO matter and the setting is more or less breathtaking!

Oct. 2024

To call this a visual novel wouldn't be close to doing it justice. Sure it had strong elements of choose your own, with multiple paths, different results and endings - but on a MASSIVE SCALE! The characters were amazing, all with their own stories, paths, relationships and motives. There were tons of locations. The war element was interesting, historically informative and at times heavy. But the story here, the characters, the gameplay and the feeling of free choice made this game pretty darn incredible. I like all kinds of games, from adventure, to P&C, to hidden object, to shooters, etc and I still thoroughly enjoyed this game very very much. The authors obviously put ABSOLUTELY TONS of love, creativity, research and probably thousands of hours into the conversations, interactions, relationships between multiple characters and how it all plays out as the story goes along, at certain branch paths and ultimately the end results. You truly get different experiences upon subsequent play-throughs. Bravo. Can't wait to play this again soon. LOTS of love went into this gem of a game/story/novel (could be a movie) and it shows!!!!

Sept. 2024

This is one of the most interesting depictions of a divided community you'll find in gaming. The branching narrative and multiple endings mean your decisions will weigh heavily on you by the time the ending rolls round.

July 2024

A very good narrative RPG, with no fights and all dialogue. People clamoring for more Disco Elysium should give this a whirl, as well as anyone wanting to play a good "choices matters" game. Highly recommended.
