Telegraphist 1920: Beats of War is coming soon and can be wishlisted here


 

Telegraphist 1920: Beats of War is a narrative rhythm game that invites you to experience history like never before.

Use your telegraph key to send Morse code messages to the rhythm. Experience the daily life of a communications unit - operate the radio station, improve your telegraphy skills and strengthen the bond with your crew.

This unique genre combo merges gripping storytelling with challenging rhythm-based gameplay. Here, you are not just a player; you are the conductor of a life-and-death symphony.

 

Alone Against the Revolution

Step into the year 1920, a time when the world stood at a crossroads. The aftermath of World War I had left Europe scarred, and the winds of revolution stirred across the continent.

In this era, Poland found itself in a desperate fight, standing against the ever-expanding Soviet Russia - a force determined to spread communism across the entire world.

The Polish-Bolshevik War erupted - threatening Europe with catastrophic consequences…

 

Feel the Beats of War

Will you take part in the fight against the Soviet invasion? Step up as a radiotelegraphist amidst the chaos of everything at once.

You are the critical link between commanders and soldiers. Use your sharp sense of rhythm and mastery of Morse code to relay critical orders to the frontline.

Tune into the intense soundtrack as you tap out dots and dashes and manipulate the unreliable radiostation machinery.

Though you are miles from the conflict, your heart beats with the rhythm of distant combat…

 

Key Features

The game offers many hours of content through:

 

  • Dynamic Gameplay: React to rapidly changing conditions - from broken machines to the fatigue of endless hours on duty.
  • Extensive Storyline: Relive the dramatic Polish-Soviet War through a gripping narrative. Strengthen the bond with characters who share your daily struggles.
  • Learn Morse Code: Play minigames that teach you Morse code from scratch. Challenge your skills in Mastery Mode and tap out historically accurate messages.

  • Room Customization: Customize your room with a trove of authentic items from the post-WW1 era. Each item carries its own story, forging a connection to the past.

Sacrifices the Rhythm for the Gimic :/

I really wanted to like this game. Unfortunately it sacrifices the rhythm part of the rhythm game for the gimic of morse code and being a telegraphist (and one working with terrible equipment for some reason). Maybe the full game is better, but even with the bugs fixed the gameplay loop needs to be fixed too. Pros: * Cool concept * Learn some history, kinda? * Learn and practice Morse code (though there are flaws to this) Cons: * There is no way to turn off the vibration on a controller, which screws up the rhythm because it always vibrates *after* a key press, and pretty violently too. Controller is my preferred mechanism for playing games, but I had to use a keyboard because of this. * The calibration of the keyboard/controller to the games is terrible. The second step of the Calibration setting thing has a set number of chances to complete the inputs before it just stops and you have to start the whole thing again. Still didn't feel like my inputs were tightly tied to the output in-game. * Instead of focusing on morse code, this game also makes do annoying quick time events. Just as you start to get into a rhythm with the code, you have to play the stupid arrow mini game to fix the frequncy, fix the telegraph machine, tune the radio, or flip through papers. Why?? * The music doesn't help you stay on rhytm in the rhythm game... * Thanks to your character's hand moving across the sheet, you can't see what is coming next until it is too late. * The interstitials, reports, personnel, etc all feel pointless. I started skipping them after the 3rd mission. Also, when you click the personnel reports on the desk, a lady reads them to you in Russian while you are trying to read them in English. I had to take my headset off to read the damn things, and they didn't mean anything to me when I did. * I tried all of the levels. Didn't even try to finish the last one as the game goes from 0 to 60 between levels 6 and 7.

Beating off during War

There's a side mode included to learn morse code. The game itself is too difficult and stressful at its current state. Developers, please change the heavy-handed text of the intro-movie, it's awkward.
