We'll be brief as the news speaks for itself.
Attentat 1942 is the finalist of Apple Design Awards 2021 in the social impact category!
It means a lot to us since it is a testament to the fact that stories we tell in the game resonate all across the world. We are humbled and even more motivated to finish Svoboda 1945: Liberation, coming out in August!
It's also a sign of a great appreciation for the work of our art director Richard Alexander and artist Ticho 762.
