🏛️ Germany, 1956: The war is over, but justice remains unfinished. Former high up Nazis walk free while victims rest in unmarked graves. Uncover buried evidence, face reluctant witnesses, and pursue the truth. Do you have the courage to bring those "ordinary men" to trial? ⚖️ #PitchYaGame

How do people describe our game:
- An office sim about investigating and prosecuting Nazi war criminals
- Ace Attorney, Obra Dinn and Paper's Please had a baby
- If you like Ace Attorney and history, this game is occupying just that space.
-the second best thing after punching modern day Nazis!

Since today you can collect Steam trading cards featuring Nazi hunting prosecutor Fritz Bauer - or his supporting cat Marlene. Are these the coolest trading cards Steam has ever seen? You decide for yourself - but we think: yes.

There are those who plunge the world into chaos for personal gain, and those who try to bring order to it – so that everyone can live better. That's what The Darkest Files is about – the plot takes place 75 years ago but right now it feels like the future.
