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. This is how we live. This is how we try to survive. Through the darkest of times.
Plan, Act, Survive
You are the leader of a small resistance group in 1933’s Berlin, of ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply can’t stand aside. 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. 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.
Experience history
Through the Darkest of Times is a historical resistance strategy game, focusing on conveying the somber mood of the period and the very real struggles of average people living in the 3rd Reich. Historical accuracy means that 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 certainly do everything in your power to save as many lives as you can and oppose the fascist system wherever possible.
Features:
● Experience the Darkest of Times in 4 chapters
● Fight for freedom, weaken the regime and lead your resistance group
● Plan activities, find collaborators and try not to get caught
● Feel the weight of responsibility as you make difficult decisions and face the dire consequences
● Beautifully illustrated expressionistic scenes and events

An amazing game and an amazing atmosphere. The reason its 4 stars is because I'm not able to progress any further due to the fact that I can't click on any of the mission buttons, the saves are also really finicky and would rather then giving us the option to save. The buttons also overlap and... I learnt by playing this that I have the worst phone ever to be playing games due to how much overlap there is EVERYWHERE. still would recommend the game though

Very very very nice game. Kudos. But there are too many bugs and sometimes the game breaks. In the 3rd chapter you can just use the contacts as many times as you want in one turn which can be exploited and used to gain 100 morals and thousands of followers which can later generate too much money but too much follower breaks the game and on the next turn it just stops, there is no option to tap. There are probably many other bugs but these were most significant. But with bugs, its still playable.

Pros: Cool engaging mechanics, solid gameplay, no bugs or technical problems. Art design is also very good. Essentially a worker placement game where your workers have stats and traits that can benefit or hinder them. Cons: game tries to deceive you that what you say or do has consequences. It doesnt. You dialogue options may as well not exist. Also the dialogue between "game days" is too long sometimes and gets tiresome quickly. Overall good game, but have honestly played better in this genre.
