Nowadays (that is to say, 2001 in game time), that grandfather is old and is in no condition to talk you therefore collect your clues by talking to others who lived through the times. Your goal is to investigate the story behind your grandfather’s arrest by the Gestapo. You play as the 2001 answers-seeking grandchild of characters directly affected by the German response to the assassination. As one can imagine, the Nazis did not react to this incident with much compassion. Īttentat 1942 is centred around the incident in which Reinhard Heydrich, the high ranking Nazi official in charge of Czechoslovakia at the time (and also one of the main architects of the Final Solution) was attacked at Prague, the Czech capital. For what it’s worth, even after the war Czechoslovakia wasn’t too lucky and had to endure several decades on the other side of the Iron Curtain. It started when parts of the state were given to Germany as part of the Munich Agreement’s attempt to appease the Nazis the rest was taken shortly after without the locals being able to stage much in the way of opposition, and the powers of France and Britain still hoping Hitler could be peacefully contained.

And such is the promise of Attentat 1942, a video game that intends to impress on its players what life in occupied Czechoslovakia was like under the Nazi regime. Given these absurd circumstances, a video game aiming to achieve the exact opposite of Call of Duty and demonstrate what World War 2 felt like to real people is a development I accept with open arms.
