Through the Darkest of Times
Through the Darkest of Times lets us experience the abyss of National Socialism up close and challenges us to deal with it. On the day of the "seizure of power", a group of resistance fighters is formed. Each new beginning reveals further fates and harrowing abysses of everyday life in Berlin, which confronts the players with the immediate consequences of their actions. In light of the right-wing shift in Europe, this game is more relevant than ever and asks the burning question: How would I act?
