Through the Darkest of Times is a historical resistance strategy game set in 1933's Berlin during the rise of the Nazi regime. Players take on the role of a leader of a small resistance group, made up of ordinary people from different backgrounds, who are fighting against the oppressive regime. The goal is to carry out small acts of resistance, such as spreading awareness and gathering information, while staying undercover to avoid being caught by the regime's forces.

The game aims to accurately portray the somber mood of the time and the struggles of those living under the Nazi regime. While players may not be able to change the outcome of the war, they can make a difference by saving lives and opposing the fascist system. Through the Darkest of Times features four chapters, where players must make difficult decisions and face the consequences of their actions. The game also has beautifully illustrated scenes and events, adding to the immersive experience. It is available in multiple languages and is developed by HandyGames, a studio known for creating original and high-quality games.
