Paintbucket Games and HandyGames have announced the upcoming release of Through the Darkest of Times, a new historical strategy game which places players into the shoes of the leader of a small resistance group in 1930’s Berlin out to deal blows against the Nazi regime.
The game’s focus lies on conveying the grim mood of the period and the very real struggles of average people living in the Third Reich. Players will drop leaflets to spread awareness about the Nazis’ sinister plans, paint messages on walls, gather information, recruit collaborators and embark on sabotage missions to inhibit the fascist system whenever possible.
Check out a selection of screenshots and a trailer for Through the Darkest of Times here…
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.
We chose to fight. We founded a secret group, convinced our families and friends, and started to spread the word about the government suppressing and killing people. We share pamphlets, spy on despicable institutions and gather resources to find more supporters for our resistance. Living in fear of being caught every single day. Shaking whenever we feel watched or hear someone knocking at the door at night. This is how we live. This is how we try to survive. Through the darkest of times.
Through the Darkest of Times will go on sale on PC and Mac on January 30th 2020.
