It follows you and your small resistance group through those 13 years of suffering that starts hopeful for some but ultimately devastating for all. Through The Darkest Of Times begins in the year 1933, when Hitler is appointed as Chancellor, and ends a year after the war is over in 1946. Its sobering story-telling and meaningful mechanics provide the player with a real insight to what it felt like to be a resistance fighter during Nazi-occupied Germany, and the result is a grim yet hopeful masterpiece surrounding the lives of those who dared oppose evil. Through The Darkest Of Times is described by the developer as “a historical resistance strategy game taking place in Berlin during the Third Reich.” Available on Steam, Through The Darkest Of Times has already been nominated for many awards by organizations like Gamescom and Dokville. It’s the road less traveled that Through The Darkest Of Times takes - a perspective rarely at the forefront of WWII narratives - and it’s this story that will transport players to the heart of it all, living through Nazi-occupied Germany from 1933 – 1946. What about the lives of everyday Germans living during the war? What lead to the war in the first place? Were there any resistance movements among the people? What did they do? What were their lives like? How did they cope? How did they live? Of course, there’s far more to the story, but rarely does that excite the box office. The military narrative is the one heard most regularly - guns and bravado blazing, it seems the story we’ll always hear is the one where the Allies arrive to take on the Axis and save the day. The opposing factions and their clashes often get the spotlight of docuseries and documentaries this goes doubly so for Americans, who hear on repeat how much the former isolationist nation saved the day. Most WWII history buffs can tell you, in detail, about certain battles, the technology available, and even Hitler’s medical information down to the pills he regularly consumed.
World War II is a part of history most of us are familiar with to some degree. Will you fight for the right side of history?
