Fantastic short game about history of a small village called Svoboda and the trauma of WW2 and its effects on both social and economical realities of the locals. the game gives you both sides of many arguments and shows the various justifications people had for their actions.

Surprisingly good acting, super script and very decent camera work. I enjoyed how the illustrated parts were incorporated into the real world around, in the photographs. They are obvious enough for you to spot them, but seamless, so it does not appear too distracting. The comic-esque style of the story telling in some parts was also quite refreshing and worked really well with the FMV styled scenes.

Overall an amazing experience and a good way to teach history to those who haven't bothered to delve deeper.

not my kinda game won't lambast it for it but not for me
