As the Second World War nears its end in February 1945, the young nurse Gerda Larsen faces a fight of her own: saving her husband Anders after the Gestapo arrests him. She has five days, a community she does not want to abandon and a dangerous world to adapt to. You investigate, explore and decide whom to trust.
This story-rich game uses light role-playing elements. Choices carry both immediate and lasting consequences, from handing out scarce resources to helping someone in pain who may later hurt others. Your personality points and allegiances influence your options. Single-player, with full controller support, it suits players who value moral dilemmas and hard conversations over action.
