Hello! Just a quick newsflash: our free game about Nazi persecution of students in the occupied Prague got worldwide recognition - moreover in South America - and we could not keep this news from you.

Train to Sachsenhausen now holds the title BIG Impact: Best Social Matters Game from BIG Festival 2022, Brazil! Glad to take part in a very interesting selection of titles.

The game expands on themes from Attentat 1942 and is available on Android, iOS and desktop (Itch.io).

Hi!
We don't do this often, but we just wanted to bump up the sale of Attentat 1942 that is starting now to anybody who might be into history but was still waiting.

Since the release, a lot of things happened with Attentat 1942 so let me list at least some of them:
- we ported the whole game into the new engine and 4K!
- we were nominated for Apple Design Awards (with the mobile version) for Social Impact, yay
- the game came to Nintendo Switch, broadening the audience for stories we should never forget even more
- and we released the follow-up, Svoboda 1945: Liberation to great success


Well, we were a few years younger when we got the Czech Game of the Year award in 2018.

So that's it. The discount runs for a week and it's our biggest ever. We make games to be accessible and we hope it might allow more people to dive into histories that still shape the present.

And as always, thank you for your continued support!

Hello!
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that our very first Charles Games official soundtrack is out!

The 32-minute album includes a track from both Attentat 1942 and Svoboda 1945: Liberation. Mixing ambient layers with field recordings, experimental as well as historical instruments, it bears an unmistakable touch by its authors DVA. The Czech experimental duo has been around for more than 16 years and it has been an honor to cooperate.

Head to the official Steam page that includes snippets of some of the music - the collection includes previously unheard arrangements!

We asked Jan (a half of DVA) about the whole process.

"Creating game soundtracks is a very specific thing. It reminds me of building legos, a lot of loops and emotions you then layer on top of each other. With DVA, we mostly do cheerful music, so Attentat 1942 and Svoboda 1945 have been a big challenge. We had to get serious, dark, which is out of the ordinary."

And apart from innovative voicework, cellos, and folk music, Jan also shares some peculiar instruments used.

DVA

"For the most part, we combined field recordings (train station, laundry, water powerplant) and acoustic instruments. We also used a very special bass clarinet, probably used by a German and later Czechoslovak army. Bára, my colleague from DVA, got it in some pawn shop. Even today, you can see the year 1939 on it along with a slightly visible Swastika."

We hope you'll enjoy our soundtrack! If you prefer to get your music on Bandcamp, you can find it on the official page of DVA - https://dva2.bandcamp.com/album/ost-attentat-1942-svoboda-1945-liberation.

And as always, thanks for your continued support!
