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 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.

Shoving it Down your Throat
When I was a child, youth, and young lady (I was born 22 years after the end of WWII), we could still have neutral, intellectual conversations, like if the Jews were in so much danger, why didn't countries like the US and UK raise the immigration quotas? Answer, they hated the Jews, too, and didn't want them either. We could talk about the jobs that were created by Hitler, the vacation spots, one family homes, and how he cleaned Germany of the lack-of-morals that extreme liberalism brought - just like it has brought it again today. That everything goes. Everyone has only rights and no responsibilities. The mindless, black-and-white, anti-Hitler slant is disgusting for me. See, I learned from Goebbels propaganda, and recognize it in any form and THIS is it. In this game, you play a paranoid, irrational person in Germany starting around 1923. Nothing has really happened yet, and still you start a group to harass a political party. Once things start really kicking into high gear with the Jew-hate (anti-semitism would include Arabs, because they are also a semitic people), gypsy-hate, and so much more, which the bulk of the Germans wallowed in, you still basically do nothing in this game. Fast forward to the scenes in the game where you are asked if you want to court the Soviets or the Brits. I said I would have to think about it, but was never given the chance to court Soviet help. ??? The intro of the game would have you believe that soooo many Germans were against Hitler. I have lived here 22 years. I got the elderly people in the West back when to open up to me. They had nothing against Hitler, but were so afraid of the Americans, that they destroyed things that had nothing to do with the Nazis for fear of being branded a sympathizer, which they all were. If 1/10 of the people who claim to have fought against the Nazis had actually done so, we would not have seen this era. The world was never black and white. Not even under the National Socialist government.
