After the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, your grandfather is arrested. You play his grandchild, investigating what happened by piecing together accounts of his past and the events surrounding his arrest.
Question family members and other witnesses through filmed conversations, choosing what to ask as their memories reveal different perspectives. The story also shifts into illustrated recollections and interactive scenes that depict life under occupation.
Short minigames involve tasks such as hiding resistance leaflets or escaping a prison. Dialogue choices can uncover additional information and affect outcomes; minigames can earn coins used to revisit interviews and explore more conversation branches. Archival footage and historical reference material add context.
Players in the supplied reviews often value the game as an interactive way to encounter the history of Nazi occupation in Czechoslovakia. Personal testimonies, archival material, and the family investigation are commonly described as engaging and emotionally affecting. Some appreciate how the filmed interviews and illustrated scenes support the subject, while others find the experience slow, text-heavy, or limited as a conventional game; minigames and interview-retry systems also draw criticism.
