About the Game

Step aboard the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, and immerse yourself in this atmospheric simulation on that fateful day of January 30th 1945


Step aboard the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, a German armed military transport ship that was sunk during World War 2 by multiple torpedo strikes from a Russian submarine. You take on the role of a passenger aboard this ship, and will relive its final moments, from the time it was struck until it slipped beneath the ocean to its watery grave. You will first handedly witness this liner's demise, and what happened on that fateful day of January 30th 1945.

The sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff has never been properly recreated, but now you can completely explore the exterior of the ship, and experience a historically accurate sinking.
