The Darkest Files

所作所为，皆有代价。真是一款好游戏！作为对国际历史只是浅浅略过之人，这个游戏向我展示了二战后那些为时代所指责的，勇敢追查真相的人，正是因为有他们，许多冤屈才得以申诉。在第二案的时候，看着海蒂他们欢呼，但是真实的案件申诉成功却在1991，不禁令人心生感叹，始终有人没忘记这份痛苦和冤屈，受害者等待了多年才等到了属于自己的正义。在游戏里，正是有主角他们，所以能在1960年前就为安娜伸张正义。女主所做的，不仅是赎罪和弥补，更是为了更多无辜的人伸张正义。 非常推荐这部游戏，但是还是有一些问题要提出：1.整体环境偏暗，寻找额外信息非常麻烦和费眼睛！ 2.存档的不便利，自动存档和手动存档混在一起，而且法庭之中无法存档，只能从开庭前重新打。 3.我们需要中文！！！我们需要中文！！这部游戏值得被更多的人看到，我希望能有更多的人品读到这个好作品，而缺少中文限制了我们！！

Normally I play adventure games, at times fantasy games or puzzle for entertainment, relaxing or for a challenge - this wonderful game is based on real events. So, I was not sure, if it would be for me, but I'm glad I decided to play and act as a prosecutor for justice. It was a ride through my country's black past, in which terrible crimes happened. For 2 of such, the player can seek justice in the Darkest Files. But don't think, we would just look into files .. no, we look at documents, but question witnesses as well. Those are made very nicely as sort of a walk through their memories... we accompany events, their look on them and what they claim to have done and said... After questioning, collecting of documents etc, we prepare and in court, we win the battle for the victiims A great game, highly recommended ! Don't miss it.

周日花了差不多一天的时间打完了第二个案子。 不论是安娜的案子还是后记，都让我感到隐隐的胃痛。 一段血染的过去，需要有Bauer这样的正义之士挺身而出，为无辜者沉冤昭雪。其实这几乎就是与整个世界为敌了。这些检察官真的是无比勇敢了，所以说人类的赞歌是勇气的赞歌呢。 审讯过程中听到一些嫌疑人脸不红心不跳的撒谎让我全程一直冷笑，时不时就哼哼两声。 但是u1s1，寻找线索的过程也真的很折磨。第一个案子我就差一个线索，结果读档回去再找了一次差了两个线索。虽然我真的很喜欢根据案情的发展，现场遗留的线索和布局都会改变这种设定，但是对于寻找线索来说简直就是地狱模式。 虽然能理解可能检察官办案就是要这样寻找每一个蛛丝马迹，但是好歹给我个灯啊喂！找线索找的我感觉要青光眼了。 除了以上这点，要说唯一要诟病的，可能就是体量吧。如此完美伟大的作品，感觉可以做100个案子的DLC，我都会愿意为之付钱的！ ---- 的确是震撼的作品。 只是看着评论就决定入手这部，虽然对二战几乎零了解还有一堆晦涩的法律词汇，但是玩到上庭给嫌疑人们正义的制裁那部分的时候，那种震撼的感觉简直无与伦比。 在案情总结结束，看到真实故事改编的那一刻，那种复杂的感情更加难以言说。 其实在审讯过程中就已经感觉到愤怒了，但是那种愤怒在判决结果出来的时候又转变成了一种空虚。战争会让人变成怪物，而在这世界上，战争还远远没有结束。

I really liked the art and gameplay of this one. I think it was too short, but worth the price. I would definitely play more of it!

I really enjoyed this game, with a few caveats. The story and subject matter is well handled in my opinion. Things are not sugar coated. I loved uncovering new documents and listening to the testimonies, although I wish the testimonies were not riddled with hidden objects that you have to search for. If you miss hidden objects your rating decreases, and sometimes they can be super hard to see, and they spawn continuously through the testimony. The option to highlight them is nice but even with it on it can be easy to miss important things. I also felt like this game does not hold your hand when it comes to coming up with the right conclusions. I had a hard time picking the right documents and sometimes had to use hints/spoilers. I like challenging deductive games but sometimes it was hard to know which document they were looking for to prove the point and when I looked up the answer it seemed like those docs shouldn't be the only correct ones. I appreciated the difficulty modifiers though. I'd recommend this game based on the story and the attention to detail as well as the lovely voice acting and art style. I had a lot of fun with this one, I would love to play more cases if they ever come out with them! I definitely took my sweet time with the two cases that exist, and I finished in under 10 hours.

I just wished the game had been longer.

I truly cannot recommend this game enough-- its beautifully crafted and poignant in a very naturalistic way that allows the player to come to their own emotional conclusions as a direct result of the gameplay, rather than giving the player a story outright. It really allows you to become emotionally invested in a way that feels very personal, while also making you question the ramifications of that. There's a lot to love about this game-- for one, the visuals are absolutely STUNNING. This whole game is so gorgeously stylized and makes good use of restrictive color pallets in a way that really serves to enhance the atmosphere of the game. While the characters of your co-workers are far from the focus of the game, I found that they were delightful to learn more about and interact with. The voice acting is also very well done and helps to make the experience even more immersive. Mechanically, this might be the best detective-style game I've ever played. There's so many options for how to customize your experience, including three default difficulties that you can also adjust to your needs. I find that sometimes game where you're meant to be investigating something, especially utilizing in-universe documents you need to file through, tend to be a bit too "hand holdy" but this game was PERFECT for me on the two more difficult settings. It truly allowed me to look at the clues given and come to my own conclusions in a way that actually felt like solving a puzzle rather than playing through a gamified "puzzle" that restricts your actual ability to deduce things for yourself. I was also pleasantly surprised by how helpful the in-game organizational tools were-- I'm used to needing a separate notebook to take notes for these types of games to help keep track of everything, but this game made it very easy to do so with its annotation and bookmark system without my needing outside resources. While I was already knowledgeable on the subject matter this game discusses going in, I still feel like I learned something and gained a deeper understanding of a part in history (post-WWII Germany) which I feel is seldom discussed, especially in such an easy-to-digest way. I also think this is especially true in how it focuses less on some sort of big villain and more on people which are much closer to an "ordinary citizen" type. Overall, I enjoyed every second of this game and recommend it to anyone seeking a well made detective-style game and/or a game with a narrative that feels like so much more than "just" a game. Truly my only wish is that there were more of it; I cannot wait to see what comes next from this studio!

An important historical game that immerses you in the fight against the remnants of the Nazis and an effort to bring them to justice.

Very good and well done, just wished it was longer

The game gives me more understanding of Germany and Nazi history. I'm feeling so disgusted while playing, so fortunate that I am living in a much civilized time.
