Run or Stay?
Art style: A vibrant game world full of dynamic, expressive, and colorful characters awaits you.
Three protagonists: Assel, Hanna, and Micha offer you three different perspectives on life in the GDR.
Historically inspired: There are many interesting stories from the GDR, some of which served as inspiration for the game's three protagonists. Each chapter offers a unique insight into life in the GDR.
Stress management: Even the right decision can cause stress, and this is also true for the characters in Grenzgänger. Excessive stress can influence the twists and turns in the game and should therefore be reduced through the targeted use of items.
Twists and turns: Not everything in life is predictable, and in Grenzgänger, too, chance determines the course of the story.
Fully voiced: The game has been completely dubbed by professional voice actors.
