In Denmark, during the German occupation of World War II, nurse Gerda has to face the fact that her life will never be the same again. She is forced to deal with the changes that the war is forcing upon her.
Nothing is typical
Gerda is not your typical heroine and this is not your typical war game. Destiny does not take its course at the front, but in the small village of Tinglev, where Gerda was born and grew up. The friendly nurse has no weapons and no army to help her, instead she must rely on herself and her knowledge of the village and its inhabitants to rescue her husband, who has been arrested by the Gestapo.
Gerda: A Flame in Winter is a deep narrative game inspired by real events and real civilians who did their best to resist oppression during the German occupation. Players are confronted with moral dilemmas as Gerda tries to navigate a world full of dangerous situations and tough decisions that has suddenly become a lot more complicated - while trying to stay true to herself.
