In this video I take a look at Through the Darkest of Times,* a text based strategy game from one of our darkest periods in history.

It's 1933 and Hitler has just become Chancellor of Germany. The game has us leading a small resistance group to try and oust the Nazi party or at least turn favour against them. The mood is very dark and it gives us a great look into the politics and events of the time with daily newspaper headlines and social interactions that reflect the happenings of the time. This is a great game not only for entertainment but as a reminder of what can easily happen if people are not careful and don’t put in the effort to become better ...Rwanda, Bosnia, Syria!

ABOUT THIS GAME
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.
