After initially announcing their game at the start of the year, DONTNOD Entertainment has given us the release date for Gerda: A Flame in Winter. As their first title in partnership with indie developers PortaPlay, this narrative RPG-lite game will be released on September 1st for both PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Inspired by real-life events, the Danish village of Tinglev is under German occupation during World War II. Players will walk the path of Gerda Larsen, an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances who is forced to take a stand after her life is suddenly turned upside down. One day, Gerda returns home from the clinic where she works as a nurse. She notices blood as she enters the house and soon discovers that her husband, Anders, is being arrested by the Gestapo. He has left behind important resistance documents, and it looks like many Danish and German lives will depend on her next actions.
This narrative will be a tale told not on the front line, but within the intimate setting of a small Danish village during World War II. It’s good to know the game will be released before the end of the year as it seems like an experience worth having. Will you be heading to this small Danish village in September?
