About this game
A tense cooperative thriller where you play real historical conspirators plotting to assassinate Hitler. Build motivation, gather supplies, recruit allies, and wait for the perfect moment to strike while the Gestapo closes in. The game walks you through WWII chronologically via event cards, with each stage changing what is possible on the map. Get arrested and you face interrogation alone, unable to consult your team. The historical detail is staggering, the tension is relentless, and every failed plot ratchets up the stakes.
