The game is so poorly optimized and the controls feel so bad that it detracts from the story, which is bad not just because this is a narrative-centric game, but because the story is about one of the most serious topics in history that should not be mismanaged.
Really boring just walking to places, but it tell well about the lives of the jews in the second world war.
Stereotipical story seen in movies about WW 2 from the perspective of civilians.

Un très bel hommage aux victimes. Je vois très bien ce jeu dans un contexte scolaire. Beau travail aux développeurs, vous pouvez être fiers de vous !
ce jeu et bien, mais bravo le morale après....
This game made me cry..so many things lost. i never heard alot about ww2 till i played this game. its a easy 100% no guide needed!. 10/10
Very good. The ending got me a bit emotional, but it is very educational, and I recommend this game to everyone and anyone.
Reviewing this game is difficult. The subject matter is one which ought to be treated with sensitivity -- which I believe is done in this game. The characters are sympathetic and the addition of real-life photographs is compelling. However: As a game, it is very lackluster. This is essentially a walking simulator. You cannot explore the world, you cannot really interact with people in the area, and you cannot walk at a reasonable pace (with one exception). I would still recommend this game, since games regarding this topic are few and far between, but I wouldn't advise approaching this as a video game as we know it.
Ein kurzes, informatives "Spiel" - eher eine geführte Novelle - über die Erfahrung im zweiten Weltkrieg in Frankreich. Durchaus gut gemacht: Es werden ein paar Fakten gezeigt und mit Bildern belegt. Die Stimmung ist mittel-dramatisch. Könnte noch ein wenig mehr in die Tiefe gehen, ist aber ausreichend für Menschen das Interesse am dunklen Zeitalter des 20. Jahrhundert zu wecken, die bisher nicht genug hingeschaut haben. Alles in Allem ist es sogar Jugend-tauglich, da keine zu harten Bilder gezeigt werden. Sehr zu empfehlen. Einziges Manko - es ist derzeit keine deutsche Übersetzung gegeben.
