It is that time of year in Czechia, where we eagerly await the annual Czech Game of the Year Award. And this time, the patience has paid off - Svoboda 1945: Liberation won and is the Czech Game of the Year!
A great achievement for a game that does not shy away from controversial, moving and often troubling and dark topics, for a story brimming with unresolved national traumas. We are really happy not only for the award itself but for the fact that a game prodding these corners of history can get that sort of attention. A hopeful message to all the devs out there trying similar things.
And moreover, it is a testament to the great work our extended circle of cooperators did - including our brilliant historians, filmmakers, translators, sound designers, artists and everybody who participated on the game. You might see most often the faces of Charles Games core team, but Svoboda 1945 would not have been possible without all the people who chipped in. You deserve a bow...
...since we were also nominated in the game design, technical excellency and audiovisual design categories!
Thank you :) And congratulations to all the other nominees and winners! And as always, we are grateful to you, our fans, who helped us along the way and made it all happen.

- 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.
