A slow, emotionally heavy journey through occupied France where every choice carries the weight of survival and loss.

What players say
Players respect the educational intent and the emotional weight of the Holocaust story, but many find the gameplay frustrating due to poor PC optimization, sluggish movement, and unresponsive controls, it is a very short walking simulator with minimal interactivity and some debate about its historical framing.
