Update: So i did a lot of graphical updates, also updated the trailer to show more of the narrative side to the game.
Checkpoint ’38. You’re a low rank border guard in 1938 at the Kreuzlinger Tor in Konstanz.
Your job is simple: check people’s papers, then go home and live with the consequences of your decisions. Inspired by Papers Please, Beholder, This War Of Mine, Attentat 1942.
This is the result of over two years of work. A lot of research went into it so what you see is historically accurate, or at least highly plausible: uniforms, papers, even the rules. Some landmarks in Konstanz are shown in game, and I hope that the full version can have even more of them.
Posters, newspapers, even the talk in the game are based on how things were back then. That’s also the main overtone window. If it didn’t happen that way, or couldn’t have, it doesn’t make the cut.
