When We Disappear

A Story-driven and History-based Game about WW2

«When We Disappear» is a history-based, story-driven and dialogue-based puzzle platformer set in 1943 when a young girl escapes the torments of World War 2. The game tells the story of Hannah who is separated from her family, escapes across Europe and who is confronted with various dilemma situations.
