Evaluation

Attentat 1942 launched on October 31, 2017 as a historically-grounded narrative adventure game. The most significant post-launch update to the game itself was the "Remembrance Update" on May 28, 2020, which ported the game to a new engine, improved the UI and video quality, added Steam Cloud saves, and brought MacOS Catalina compatibility — described by the developer as "the biggest update ever" and representing the best version of the game. No further content updates to Attentat 1942 itself have been released since then. The developer's subsequent news posts — announcing the release of Svoboda 1945 (August 2021), Beecarbonize (August 2023), Playing Kafka (May 2024), and Velvet 89 (October 2024) — are all announcements of separate, standalone games by Charles Games, not new content for Attentat 1942. The studio's fifth anniversary post on February 20, 2025 celebrates the studio's broader journey and mentions "multiple unannounced projects in the works," but these refer to future Charles Games titles, not additions to Attentat 1942. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap for further Attentat 1942 content, and no developer statements indicating additional content is planned for this specific game. The game launched and was refined as a complete, self-contained narrative experience.

About this game

Attentat 1942 is a historically-accurate adventure told through the eyes of World War 2 survivors. Many moral dilemmas and existential struggles await you on your way to discover the troubled past of your family. Written and made by professional historians.

It's 1942 and Reinhard Heydrich, the ruler of the Nazi occupied Czech lands appointed by Hitler, was assassinated. Nazi retaliation was brutal. Your grandpa was among the victims, sent to a concentration camp.

But why? What role did he play in the attack? Why didn’t he tell his family? Was he brave or reckless?



Immerse yourself in a story about love, friendship and heroism among the horrors of a world conflict. Confront witnesses, experience the everyday life under Nazi rule and uncover the fate of your family in this award-winning game about World War II.



  • dive into deep-branching dialogues, where your choices matter
  • experience history through interactive comics and memories, hide resistance leaflets from the Gestapo or flee from a Nazi prison
  • explore rare digitized film footage and historical items
