Natur? Politisch

Natur? Politisch. is a gripping adventure with a dynamic comic book look. The shifting perspective between different characters and pages offers a deeper insight into the scenario. The story is set in a not before seenn GDR setting and was designed by a contemporary witness. The main theme is environmental pollution and the corresponding environmental protection efforts.

Even though the story is a retrospective, the subject matter is highly topical and, thanks to the different characters, appeals to different age groups. The switch between activists and the Stasi is particularly convincing. The short, concise texts allow the story to progress quickly without becoming overwhelming.

The functionality of the GDR vocabulary is particularly noteworthy. Special terms are highlighted in the text and can be selected as needed. A fade-in with background information on the selected term then appears. The short adventure passages allow players to engage with the environment and offer a brief break and change of pace from the dialogues.

Natur? Politisch. is a successful serious game designed for schools that provides an unusual insight into Germany’s recent history.
