The Darkest Files is a historical investigation and courtroom game based on true crimes of the Nazi era. Investigate cold cases, search for clues, interrogate witnesses, immerse the crimes and defend your case in court to bring the perpetrators to justice.
You are Esther Katz, a young prosecutor who has just joined Fritz Bauer's new special unit. Your task seems impossible: to investigate crimes committed years ago, where evidence has been destroyed, witnesses silenced and the perpetrators embedded in the highest ranks of society. Every decision matters. Every interrogation can bring you closer to the perpetrator or lead you astray. Silence is your worst enemy. Time is working against you. And German society is not ready to face its past.

This was recommended in response to trying to find a follow-up to Return of the Obra Dinn, a master-class deduction game. This review is a comparison of the two in regard to things both games have. - A hand-drawn-ish art style similar to the "only two colors" thing Obra Dinn did, but with more color as necessary. Let's be fair, Obra Dinn would have benefited from a little more color, and this game applies it as needed. - A sincerely unique premise based on historical accuracy. Obra Dinn forced you to learn about real-life maritime things (ranks, duties, the layout of a ship). Darkest Files is the same, but it is about the NSDAP (Nazi party), so unless you're a WWII historian, you will be learning and applying loads of new things. - A lot of walking and talking. You can interact with documents and people to learn about things, though. Unlike Obra Dinn, you are a character with a name and
The darkest Files is a detective game set in post-WW2 with cool visuals and an amazing soundtrack, where you play as a prosecutor named Esther Katz as she works cases that happened during WW2 in Mr. Bauer’s team. The cases in the game are based on true crimes with the names changed. The only name that is the same as in real life is that of Mr. Bauer. The Darkest Files takes detective games like Ace Attorney and puts a unique twist on it. The game does not stop at finding evidence and going to court, but you have to interrogate witnesses and suspects. The gameplay of these interrogations is interesting as you are taken to the scene of the crime and ask questions to learn more about the case. The more questions you ask, the more documents you have that you can use when proving your point in court. Then when you get to court, your actions and proof determine how the case goes. The game gi
I really, deeply want to recommend this game because the content that *is* there is very well done. That being said, I just can't get behind the fact that there are only 2 cases. I understand the game is only $20, but that's a low amount of gameplay even at that price. Plus the ending feels incredibly rushed. You get through the two cases, then get smacked with an epilogue that hits you with a deeply uncomfortable revelation that you then do absolutely nothing with because sorry, game's over! Even if the developers had decided to turn that last narrative revelation into one final case with some deeply personal stakes for your prosecutor that would have been enough (in my opinion) to push this game into a wholehearted recommendation and really bring everything full circle for a satisfying conclusion. Unfortunately I'm writing this review having just finished the game, incredibly disappoin
The Darkest Files is a gripping courtroom sim in which you investigate Nazi war crimes. My only issue is there are only two cases.
Thank you to the devs for making this game that covers such important topics. I enjoyed playing The Darkest Files a lot. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys detective games or learning about history, in this case the impacts of authoritarian regimes. The game covers heavy topics and handles them appropriately. Both cases were very compelling and it was interesting to learn about the real life cases. The gameplay itself was enjoyable, I really felt like I was given flexibility in coming to a solution. However - I feel the game could use more cases. Given the quality of the cases, I can understand why there were not many. But given how important the themes and topic are, I feel the game is under serving them. I hope that the developers will consider making more.
I like because detective like mechanics I like presentation, style, ect. I like bringing justice to Nazis. Also it gave me some feels
