This is a strategy game in which you play as a small resistance group during the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. The gameplay consists of choosing where to send your limited number of people to gather support, finances, resources, or carry out missions. After a certain number of days, story segments will play out depicting major events that led to the rise and fall of the Nazi party. The gameplay bits are good at portraying how difficult it is to move around and get anything done when the whole state is against you, but the story bits were what really elevated the game for me. For one, this is the only video game I can think of that actually tackles the holocaust, despite so many games being set during WWII. But it also just excels at giving you a timeline of events of how a nation descended into fascism, and the efforts it took to defeat it, and that’s something I think everyone needs to learn right now, because it really seems like too many have forgotten the lessons of history.
