Hello all! We have been little quieter than usual as we had our hands full as we participated in various showcases in Czechia. But lately, big news came that we had to break the silence and let you know! Svoboda 1945: Liberation has been nominated for the prestigious IndieCade & TIGA awards! For IndieCade, the long-running independent gaming festival, we got nominations in Narrative and Impact categories, while also being eligible in numerous others. At TIGA, the category is Heritage in games - not bad! Apart from hoping for the best, we'll be having special sales, streams, events and we will let you know about them soon. IndieCade takes place at the end of October, TIGA on November 10th at a very historical site. We are thrilled! So, keep your fingers crossed for us, take care, and, as always, thank you for your continuing support! Ondrej Charles Games

Svoboda 1945: Liberation is a unique blend of adventure gameplay, full-motion video interviews with real actors, and historically accurate interactive memories of people who lived through the chaos of the aftermath of World War 2. Discover the secret history of your own family in a captivating story about reconciliation with the dark past.

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.
