## About This Game
This game was created by one developer and two voice actors.
It is a psychologist simulator taking place in 1925, before Hitler came to
power.
It is a game about resolving Hitler’s trauma and preventing catastrophe via
therapy and psychology.
The facts in the game are historically accurate. During the marketing period
people accused the developer of being a “nazi apologist”. He is not. He is
Czech, and Hitler murdered tens of thousands of his ancestors. This game is an
experiment. You are using methods that were available back then. It is a
conversational game and you can finish it in under an hour. In each therapy
session you get 3-8 choices that influence the ending.
Hitler was human too, just like you. If you distance yourself from him by
dehumanizing him and calling him a monster, you are doing psychological damage
to your Self. In order to develop your Shadow, you need to realize and admit
that given the right life circumstances, you could become someone like Hitler
too. You are both good and evil. And if we don’t admit that someone like
Hitler could come again, we are doomed to repeat history.
## Gameplay
You take the role of a psychoanalyst. The game takes place in your office,
where you diagnose your new client, Mr. Hitler.
You will use both Freudian and Jungian concepts to diagnose Hitler’s
complexes.
He comes to you with a problem – he claims he has some anger issues.
You will use psychoanalytic techniques to diagnose the source of his trauma,
that could be triggering his anger and hate.
The game is a classic conversation game (akin to visual-novel types), and
could also be considered a “conversational walking simulator”.
You try to uncover the depths of Hitler’s personality through conversation.
You will be able to talk with him during 3 therapy sessions, a few months
apart. Each session features 3-8 decision points, that will influence the
final ending.
## Research
This game is intended as a serious game. I have thoroughly researched Hitler’s
history, psychological reports (Ott, Langer, Fromm, Jung) and reports by
people who met him, including his close friend August Kubiček and the Hitler’s
family doctor Eduard Bloch. The facts in the conversations are verified by
multiple sources.
