About Through the Darkest of Times
Through the Darkest of Times is a historical strategy game where you lead a small resistance cell in 1933 Berlin, planning covert operations like distributing leaflets and sabotage while evading Nazi capture. It captures the grim reality of ordinary people opposing fascism through difficult choices and meaningful consequences rather than changing history's outcome.
Berlin 1933. “Adolf Hitler is chancellor!” We all know the consequences this message bore. Unspeakable horrors and suffering would sweep across the world. Few would stand and fight the monstrosity that was the German Reich. Will you? Lead an underground resistance group Through the Darkest of Times.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Through the Darkest of Times is a strategy game set during WWII resistance efforts that players praise for its compelling storytelling across historical acts, engaging mechanics that force difficult moral choices, and atmospheric art style and music that create an immersive experience. Common complaints include occasional bugs and translation issues, as well as some criticism of the art direction, though these detract little from the overall experience for most players.
This game reminds me a lot of Dispatch, with the way you have to choose each characters and what they can do based on their skills and beliefs etc. Personally for me, this has the much added bonus of being themed around WWII as I have a huge interest in the topic, and this is a very fun way to immerse yourself in what may have been the reality of some of those fighting with the resistance during this time. Gameplay mechanics are very simple and easy to understand, the artstyle is very pleasing with its simplicity, and there is something about the sounds and music that just hit the right spot for me. In terms of story telling, I find this to be the best component breaking each of the acts into key points throughout the time before, during, and after the war.2 found this helpful
What an import piece of art, especially for this time. Learning while playing, cool experience so far.2 found this helpful
Steam needs neutral reviews badly. I love this game's mechanics. Limited windows to act against the regime, lots of reactions for your actions, real history for each character, the game feels heavy. But the art is gross, there's some bad translations and random bugs like accidently clicking skipping whole cutscenes.1 found this helpful
A well written and enjoyable historical strategy game that forces you to make difficult choices while immersing you in the resistance to Nazi rule. The challenge comes from the seemingly impossible decisions in dangerous and desperate situations. Although the theme is obviously dark the game contains a message of hope and perseverance. The moving story of the struggle against authoritarian nationalism, fascism and dehumanisation is VERY relevant today with the increasing rise of the Far Right. This game is essential for teenagers and adults alike and could even be used as an educational tool.1 found this helpful
Still can't get a good ending. It is because of my skill, not the game
Loved the artistic style and somber theme to the game. It captures a feeling of only being able to do so little with limited time and resources while being forgiving enough that it's not a tedious grind.
