You play a SS Standartenfuhrer, who chooses to get involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler, using his authority in the Gestapo. What called my attention is that the character you play -intentionally or not- is not the typical "good guy". He's far from noble, actually. His main reason for being disenchanted with Hitler was that he saw Germans in the concentration camps (apparently he was cool with it when it was only the Jews). Mild mild spoiler (not really, but just in case: He doesn't care about exposing the conspirators to his superior, saving only who can be useful to him in the future, or about accusing an "innocent" man as communist because he was in his way, even after he stated that his motivation came from seeing Germans in the camps solely for being communists or personal enemies to people in power. This is unusual, and was very interesting for me during the gameplay.THE GOOD:+ Nice visuals, with beautiful artwork in the cut scenes.+ Excellent attention to detail, especially with historical elements.+ The music isn't overwhelming or annoying; sound effects are cool.+ Different dialog options. It doesn't change the main outcome, but you may learn more or less, according to what you choose.+ The plot was believable, historically accurate within the context of this fictional little story, and made sense.THE NOT SO GOOD:* Two of the "mini-games" inserted in the game are exclusively about luck, rather than skills, and losing them may block your game, forcing you to use a previously saved game.* The first mini-game was quite poorly explained.* The game has you picking up stuff you don't need at the moment. This is a common trait of most point-and-click games, but it kind of spoils the immersion.* Voice acting was... not that good. Some characters were ok, others less so.* Even though the main plot was somewhat solved, many point were left open in the hopes of part 2. But let's hope!THE HORRIBLE:- The pronunciation of German words was preposterous, especially by certain characters. Every time someone said "Wehrmacht", I felt like someone was scratching a blackboard. Note that I'm not German, and I'm cool with actors pronouncing "Gestapo" instead of "Geshtapo", but some of it was too bad even for me.- The woman who did the voice of "Victoria". That was the worst part of this game, and the worst I ever heard. I heard kids in elementary school reading from history books better than this lady did her lines. PLUS: she pronounced the word "Fuhrer" as "fur-r", and that wasn't the worst part of her "acting".(Another reviewer deemed her probably the worst voice actress in the history of gaming, and I agree)Not mind-blowingly good, but I recommend it. I had a very good time playing it, and I'm looking forward to playing the next one!. Feeling sad this game clearly had some potential+insense WWII's history+authentic visuals-clunky controls -gameplay issues.- lacks ,depth, length-short-poor voice acting -some puzzles are dumb. This is a good ww2-theemed point and click adventure game. You play an SS officer who is trying to kill Hitler. You go talk to german characters and try to find those that want to kill him and use your authority (and inventory) to carry out your goal of killing him. The visuals are really good and it has ok animations and music. The voice acting is Russian-level bad. A certain secretary namde Victoria is probably the worst voice actress in the history of gaming. I wanted to stab my ears..... Anyway I still like the game and am looking forward for part 2. 8\/10. This game has a lot of problems: bad voice acting (german accents mixed with american ones); the character is very slow to act; worst of all - it has a propensity to freeze during loadings (and there is a lot of loadings). Which is a pity, because it gives you an insight into the dark days of Germany during World War II.I cannot recommend it.. Very nice game in general, with an original historical background.

As a point-n-click lover, this game is absolutely a genuine garbage. Placed in 1944 Mayer, a Gestapo soldier, is attempting to hide his love for men with his never ending flirting with females.
