Germany, 1956. The war is over, but justice is not served. Former Nazis walk free, while their victims lie in unmarked graves. As a prosecutor, you'll unearth long-buried evidence, confront witnesses and hunt down perpetrators. Will you have the courage to bring these "ordinary men" to court?

Keine Deutsche Sprachausgabe?

Das spiel ist vom BMWK gesponsert. Also von deutschem Steuergeld. Und dann keine deutsche Sprachausgabe? Das ist eine Unverschämtheit.

Will this game have more chapters? Maybe a DLC?

I just finished the game and and I honestly couldn't stop thinking about it during the time I took to complete it. The game is incredibly powerfu! Both emotionally and intellectually, the way it presents each case feels deeply respectful and grounded, never sensationalized, but still carrying the full weight of what happened. There’s a quiet, lingering horror in how everything unfolds, not through shock, but through truth. I would absolutely love to see more chapters or even DLCs exploring other cases, ...

Bug Report

Achievements

I have played through a significant amount of the game so far - I'm at the point of taking the second case to court, and I'm absolutely loving it. It's a fantastic game, and I can't wait for all the bugs to be ironed out for a smoother experience! One thing I've noticed is that I haven't seemed to earn any achievements at all, even though a lot of them seem to be for experiencing story beats that I've definitely passed. Is anyone else experiencing this?...

Open audio files for community voiceover?

I see a lot of people asking for different voiceovers. This sounds like it would be a great community project. @devs, would you consider making the soundfiles of the voiceover available so that the community can start to contribute? Or perhaps bring in a portal where people could upload voice packages themselves for a character, and you can then integrate it? I understand the limitations of a small studio and its great you touch this topic at all (especially nowadays), but this might be a way to integrate ...
