Only Real History is More Than Story Rich
Remembering it is vital to move on to a better future. That's why we decided take part in the Steam Award nominations in the "Outstanding Story-Richt Game" category!
We're very happy that so many of you appreciated Through the Darkest of Times for its grim but ever more relevant retelling of events from Europe's past. Now we're asking you to help us by voting for this unique game.
The most intense experiences come from real stories and real people.
1933, the unforgettable announcement: "Hitler is Chancellor!" has changed the lives of ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply couldn’t stand aside. As we all know, this message brought hardship and injustice for many. In Through the Darkest of Times, every choice impacts your next steps. Buying paper is dangerously suspicious and painting anti-nazi paroles on walls could get you arrested or even cost your head. Face the odds, make a stand, make a difference!
Lead your resistance group through the bleak dystopia that was the 3rd Reich and learn how they lived and fought for survival. Hear their voices, play their stories, and never forget!
Through the Darkest of Times is the first game to legally depict swastikas in Germany. This is not only important for historical accuracy but also the recognition of video games as an art form like paintings or motion pictures. It is also one of the only games to truthfully depict the life of German resistance fighters before and during World War II. We are grateful that we’ve had the opportunity to share the message of this game and the significance therein with the world. It goes to show that a solid partnership between developers and publishers can lead to something impactful!
