This scene from We Grew Up in War is set in Mariupol & inspired by the Mariupol theatre, which was used as a shelter until destroyed by Russia, killing many civilians. Anna & Valerie are anxious, waiting for a text from their father. But they need to charge the phone first... #indiegame #ukraine

When we started developing We Grew Up in War, we hoped the war in Ukraine will be over well before we finish. Our game is dedicated to all those, whose lives were affected by the war that now enters its fourth year, instigated by the cruel Russian regime.

And last, but not least, we had to document how Attentat 1942 depicts alcohol for the Indonesian regulators.🍸It can’t be helped – herr Sýkora drinks cognac when he’s insidously trying to seduce your grandma. #indiedev #gamedev #history #indiegame
