Attentat 1942 News

Our new game Train to Sachsenhausen is out!

Hello!
We hope you are doing well, as much as possible in the circumstances. We have a new game to share!
It's called Train to Sachsenhausen and it’s about student protests in Nazi-occupied Czehoslovakia. As of now it's available for free on iOS, Android as well as desktop (Itch.io).

Imagine you are 20 years old, just starting your university studies. Suddenly, history finds you in your dormitory - how do you act? Will you participate in the demonstrations? Will you manage to flee the Nazi transport headed to a concentration camp? What will you do in the face of evil? Several endings and multiple storylines await.

The game also includes a virtual museum put together by professional historians. The museum contains testimonies and memories shared by actual witnesses to that chapter in history, along with period documents and photographs.

We'll be happy if you take a look and decide to leave us your feedback or comment. Together we can make sure that events like these are never forgotten and hopefully never repeated.

Have a great rest of the day,

Ondrej

Svoboda 1945: Liberation about WW2 aftermath is released!

Hi, Ondrej from Charles Games here!
It is my pleasure to announce that our long-awaited game Svoboda 1945: Liberation is now finally released! It's a follow up to Attentat 1942, taking place after the very end of World War 2, dealing with its chaotic aftermath, the rise of communism to power and other dark chapters of European history.

If you enjoyed Attentat 1942, Svoboda 1945: Liberation won't disappoint you. We pushed ourselves creatively and narratively, bringing you a game that shares the same blood type, while being different in its own way. Check it out here:

Some Attentat 1942 characters return, a cast of new ones awaits - from a German woman returning to her former home decades after being expelled, local businessman keen on reminding you of all the hardships private farmers had to face after the communist putsch, to other people who have their own views on what went down in Czech-German borderlands after World War 2.

We'll be doing a release stream later today at 19:45 so drop by and help us celebrate! Set a reminder and learn more: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1076620/view/2992064312017115328

Svoboda 1945: Liberation would have never happened without you - our dear Attentat 1942 fans who supported us all these years. So a big thank you is in order. We are happy to start a new chapter of our studio with you.

See you in Svoboda,
Ondrej

Two weeks until Svoboda sale is on!

Hi!
We are thrilled here at Charles Games and fully enveloped in the hectic days of the last chapter of Svoboda 1945: Liberation development! Our next game is coming in two weeks, on August 3! It is a huge step for us and a great new experience for you or your friends.

To give everybody a chance to play an award-winning Attentat 1942 (some of its heroes will return in Svoboda 1945!), we decided to discount it for a week. Now it's the best time to jump into our captivating story and get ready for things that will soon follow in Svoboda 1945: Liberation. Wishlist it now, by the way, if you have not done that yet.

Until then,
take care!
