Our very dear Attentat 1942 players,
I am so happy to announce a new game by Charles Games coming in October 2024!Velvet 89 is a free game that will take you to the streets of several Czechoslovak cities, full of people who decided to speak up against an unjust regime and a title attentive to some of the overlooked aspects of it all.

Its twice a first for Charles Games a hidden-object game (we just love Hidden Folks) and a game about perhaps the most significant topic our countrys history in the last 35 years: The Velvet Revolution! We will let our new Steam page (including teaser!) to speak for itself:

With Velvet 89 we put a lot of effort into a) making sure the history is represented in a nuanced and truthful manner and b) stylized visuals with a paper-like quality to them.
Youll be the judge of how successful we were in the fall, but until then, spread the word, wishlist (it helps) and look forward to the 35th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution with us and Velvet 89.
Attentat 1942 is a historically-accurate adventure told through the eyes of its survivors. Many moral dilemmas and existential struggles await you on your way to discover the troubled past of your family. Written and made by professional historians.
It's 1942 and Reinhard Heydrich, the ruler of the Nazi occupied Czech lands appointed by Hitler, was assassinated. Nazi retaliation was brutal. Your grandpa was among the victims, sent to a concentration camp. But why? What role did he play in the attack? Why didn’t he tell his family? Was he brave or reckless?
Immerse yourself in a story about love, friendship and heroism among the horrors of a world conflict. Confront witnesses, experience the everyday life under Nazi rule and uncover the fate of your family in this award-winning game about World War II.
History made interactive. Attentat 1942 features:
deep-branching dialogue, where your choices matter
