Rated PEGI 16 for use of discriminatory language. 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 still do everything in your power to save as many lives as you can and oppose the fascist system wherever possible. Every turn is one week and every chapter is covering a specific period of the Third Reich: Seizure of Power (1933), Peak (1936), War (1940/1941), Collapse (1944/1945). It's a game that aims to be historically accurate. You choose missions to advance your cause, each of which have different levels of risk and requires specific skills. You affect the story by choosing dialogue and making decisions. The story is told through text descriptions and animated scenes. There is an easier Story mode that offers multiple save points. If you fail you can only redo the last day. You can play Resistance mode where decisions are final and you can't revert to previous save files. 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. As the game advances week by week, 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. You are ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply can’t stand aside. You play the role of the leader of a small resistance group in 1930’s Berlin. With interactive drama, it tells the story and the struggles of average people living in the 3 rd Reich. Through the Darkest of Times is a strategy game that conveys the sombre mood of the dark period of history between January 1933 and May 1945.
