A game about war and not a war game. Soulcrushing and informative at the same time. It speaks to the heart and packs a great message.

Set during WW I, the game blends personal struggles of its characters with larger historical details and political realities of the devastating conflict. It takes a few small missteps on immersion and gameplay hiccups, but the game successfully tackles grim truths in a story with relatable characters, fabulous art, and balanced moments of happiness and despair, making its tale about how war destroys lives accessible and appealing to players of all ages while acknowledging war's human cost.
