Onthecht

A brief and simplistic game in principle, but it does what it needs to do, and it brings you along for a short ride into this grim part of history. With less focus on regurgitated facts you find in your standard educational writings, this adds a bit of the raw reality of a time often glamorised in media. The art and ominous sound design convey a lot of the horror in an artistic way. The personal touch of these people being the dev's relatives rather than just another fictional character on a screen gives it a unique vibe too, and definitely changes the way you experience it. It definitely could benefit from more interaction and perhaps more information from history being laid out, but as is, the quietness suits it well.

Very creative and immersive way of telling your story. Far more compelling than reading the same in a book. The sound was very good to capture the noises on the streets, train and other areas. Including the subtle gameplay interaction such as cutting hair or ironing a shirt adds to the experience, as compared to a simple movie. Your outdoor 3D models and scenes were not very detailed, but it is not needed.

I think that by combining more of these small interactive stories together, you can really make an impressive addition to museums or create an interactive book as a whole. Well done!
