[p]Surprise! We’re proud to share that The Darkest Files was part of a very special Gamescom moment: The Opening Night Live show. Jörg Friedrich, one of our CEO’s, was invited to speak on stage about The Darkest Files and the important role games can play in strengthening our democracy.[/p][p]At this year’s Gamescom, The Darkest Files is part of a collaboration with other awesome indie titles: the “Games for Democracy” booth by the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb). [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42791427/e4748ae34bebb60c4f4c6253e9940097eb6ca391.jpg"][/img][/p][p]We are grateful for this opportunity, because as Jörg said:[/p][p]“Games are more than entertainment - like any great art form, they reflect our concerns, our fears, and what preoccupies us. Democracy is under attack, minority rights are being violated, and the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Games are a powerful medium for addressing these issues, and they have the potential to inspire change.”[/p][p]For us, The Darkest Files is not just a game about history. It is about sparking conversations about justice and encouraging players to recognize their own responsibility in the present.[/p][p]???? Meet us here in Hall 10.02 and play games about past and current politics, democracy, its challenges, and its importance. Don’t forget to check out our fantastic booth mates: Glasshouse, Compensation Not Guaranteed, Media Circus, and Take us North.[/p][p][/p][p]Your Paintbuckets ????
