It is a good first step in the direction of joining games, art, history and education. But I hope more polished and smoother steps will follow.

Not the longest of games (if one can call it a game) but very moving, honest and educational. Characters and dialogue are superb.
Don't pass on this.

I really like the game with it's FMV and in the way that you interview people from the time to understand the story more, but progression feels strange. I got stuck and the only choice is to replay the interviews.

An interesting combination of FMV and mini-games, detailing a lesser-known scenario from World War II that took place in Czechoslovakia, through the lens of a fictionalized investigation. It's light on gameplay, but offers a fascinating story that's well put together. The minimal gameplay and lack of replayability is probably going to be a turnoff for some and that's fair, but I think this does a very good job at presenting a part of World War II that many people don't know about. I do wish that the videos were encoded at a higher bitrate as they are nicely shot and often artifact badly, though this has been improved in the follow-up game Svoboda: 1945 Liberation.

I LOVED THIS. Not sure how it is in other languages but in native czech its a great blend of documentary and point and click game.
