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.
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.
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

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
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
Every HOI4 players should be required to play this first1 found this helpful
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.
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.
