How it feels

A slow-paced, logic-driven puzzle game that uses minesweeper mechanics to progress through historical World War I scenarios with a calm, thoughtful feel.

What players say

Players call it a polished Minesweeper variant with a World War 1 theme, short enough to finish in under an hour. The historical trivia and cinematics are a highlight, but some find it too brief for the price and wish for harder or randomized stages.
