what an amazing game I love WW2 games and especially non-combat ones. This is like perfect for me: * WW2 * Underground partisans * Heavy choices * Members can be permanently removed(death, arrest, other cases....) * Boardgame mechanics It feels increasingly like a boardgame. A complicated and a fun one that is. But with the story and amazing atmosphere The story sometimes can feel a bit too much cuz it happens between the turns, and when you think of your gameplay strategy and wanna execute it(which requires a plan and a couple of turns). Sometimes the story happenes after every turn, which is not a problem as per say, but some of them can be up to 10 mins or some(or at least that how it felt) So I think the main weakness of this game is this balance between story and a gameplay. Even tho, I liked both of these aspects

Really thoughtful an well implemented. Heavy but strategic game-y enough that it's not unfun. It's not difficult to survive but you do get a sense of how difficult it was to do anything BUT survive.

When the world seems harsh because of dark times, this games proves that there will still be people who care despite the odds. The world can always be better but only if people care to have the courage.

I didn't know what to expect. I believe that the only war-themed game I played before this was "This War Of Mine", and while both games are good, this one also serves as a grim history lesson. Educational, realistic, and as a non-native living in Europe who only learned the surface level of WW2, this broadened that knowledge to a horrifying extent. Thank you to the developpers. This subject is especially poignant in the current global political climate.

Not the most gripping or sound gameplay, but the story and retelling of the nazi regime's rise to power is enough on its own to experience. We need more like this
