### 4/5 — Interessantes Spiel

*2024-01-25*

Das Spiel „Train To Sachsenhausen“ ist ein tolles Spiel, dass die Geschichte der Zeit im zweiten Weltkrieg näher bringt. Jedoch ist das Spiel vorhersehbar und nicht besonders realistisch, denn wenn man sich in eine Person aus der Zeit hineinversetzen möchte braucht man einfach mehr Hintergrundwissen von den Situationen und der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Aber da diese Details schwer in einem Spiel zu verarbeiten sind, kann man die gelungene Spielumsetzung trotzdem gut nachvollziehen.

### 4/5 — More Education than Game

*2022-08-20*

This is more of an educational resource than a game but it is a really engaging way to find out what happened with the student protests in Prague in WW2. Going through the choices that you think you would have made and then seeing what happens really makes you think and there are some great educational resources and stories after the game finishes. It’s quite short but can be okayed multiple times with different choices leading to different outcomes.

### 5/5 — Really good game

*2022-04-07*

Got to know a lot about history 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Schönes Spiel

*2022-04-07*

Ich liebe diese „Spiele“, die einem auch Spielerisch die Geschichte nahe bringen. Sehr schön gemacht! Mehr davon…

### 4/5 — Covers an important topic

*2022-03-26*

First of all, my apologies. I originally rated this app low because I could not change the language. But the option is there, in the menu: CZ/EN/DE. But I’m still a little confused. How does the scene swiping work? Does one way mean yes, and the other way mean no?

**Developer response:** Hi Zachary, thank you for the feedback! We are glad you figured out the language option mechanics. Moving on to your question. The impacts of options in the game's narrative are various. Some options lead to a discovery of more information about the period or scene, some provide you a choice between two important decisions about your character's life. Choosing between two options is not therefore strictly divided into yes/no options. I hope my answer helped! :)

### 3/5 — A favor, please…🙏

*2022-03-22*

Developers, please include Landscape view for this game… I would so much enjoy that option — if you do this, let me know so I can play it on my iPad — then I will update my review of your otherwise promising game.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. We are aware of the iPad issue and we are working on fixing it, just give us a little more time :) Thanks!
