As the world reels from the destruction and pain caused by the Great War, the voices of those calling for change grow louder and louder. In Berlin, almost everyone has lost someone, and shortages of goods are widespread.
While the Kaiser's armies are away fighting his enemies abroad, revolutionaries on the home front, inspired by the events in Russia a year earlier, sense an opportunity.
Step into 1918 Berlin. Take control of the story of three fictional characters, each from a different section of society, and attempt to support the brewing socialist uprising in Germany and bring about real change. Make impactful choices, navigating a story of loss, hope, and resilience.
Interact with a wide cast of historical characters, including fabled Spartacist revolutionaries such as Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. Immerse yourself in vivid descriptions of revolution-era Berlin and its people.
