Thank you for this game. I come from Silesia and it was a surprising pleasure to see my region represented in an English-language, internationally available product.
Many of the experiences you've shown match my memories of the generation of my grandparents. I really and deeply vibed with many moments and images of the game.
At the same time, there are many things that I would frame differently – but it comes from my perspective being (obviously) different from the perspective of the authors.
If there was something lacking for me, personally, it was the lack of the Silesian perspective. From what I grew to understand, the experiences of families living in a borderland area are much more muddled and nuanced than shown in the game. Both my grandparents lived through uniquely Silesian experiences during the II World War, and their tales (although very sparse) weren't as clean-cut as the Wehrmacht story from the game. Having said that, thank you for showing that part of Silesian history at all.
All in all, the game inspired me to think about my family history, and about making my own game about it. Thank you for that.
just finished playing this game, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish the story pulled me in, the characters felt so real and the graphics design was just stunning it’s rare to find a game that resonates so deeply and leaves you thinking about your heritage, truly one of those gems

I can't find the web version mentioned in the text. Is it sth local on my side, or is it a global issue?
