First They Came RPG: Core Book

Manufacturer: Ares Games

Berlin 1942, a gray morning, an apartment, a suburban building. You head them coming with sirens blaring and ran to the only place you could hide: the attic. It's dark here, the ducts inside the walls carry the sounds of the tormentors searching the building for you. You hold your breath. Then a whisper. You are not alone.

You play in the dark or blindfolded, guided by audio tracks that reproduce the different environments in which the story unfolds. It is an immersive, touching experience that will allow you to live a deep and human experience.

In First They Came, you step into the role of those persecuted by the regime for ethnic, political, gender, or religious reasons.
