Hello!
We are delighted that we made the cut and can participate in this years LudoNarraCon, the biggest online festival focused on games with ambitious narratives.
It will run on Steam from April 23rd to April 26th!
First of all, it means we will have a PLAYABLE DEMO!
In it, you will go through the very beginning of the game, arriving in our village and starting your survey in the local schoolhouse. The demo will include 4 playable characters as well as the main map, and other scenes for you to try!
If you decide to give it a go, please give us feedback - you can use our Twitter, Discord, or E-mail. We are eager to finally show you the first parts of our game!
Streams, QAs, behind-the-scenes!
LudoNarraCon is about much more than that, including talks and of course dev live streams. You can find the full schedule here, but with Svoboda 1945: Liberation, we have prepared 4 streams, one for each festival day, covering everything from our approach to history to a behind-the-scenes look at our life as an indie studio making serious games. Just a note: we list the streams in CET time, you can easily convert them to your in Google by searching for "time CET" (e.g. querying "9:30 CET") and it should automatically convert to your local time!

- Svoboda 1945 Linux [10.09 G]
You are sent to a small village of Svoboda near the Czech-German border to investigate an old feud. You soon realize the case is linked to World War II and the rise of the communist dictatorship that came after. During the investigation, you discover a photograph of your grandfather. What was he doing here? Was he somehow involved in the violence? Find out the truth and complete his story.
Talk to people who saw the horrors of war first-hand in our in-depth dialogues where every choice matters. How to approach someone who lost a friend on the battlefield? Or a woman who was expelled as a child, returning for the first time to see the place where she grew up?
Relive memories of the witnesses in atmospheric mini-games. Develop old photos that reveal details of tragic events, try to keep your farm together in the face of communist terror, or play cards on the eve of historic elections.
Uncover the things your grandpa never talked about. And answer for yourself: can the horrors of war justify the violence that came after its end?
Places full of remnants of the past await. Svoboda 1945: Liberation is a game full of rare historical material, footage, and memorabilia for you to explore. The game is a follow-up to the award-winning Attentat 1942. It was written in cooperation with a team of professional historians.
