Can you believe it? We still can't! It was on Saturday when we learned that Svoboda 1945: Liberation was selected as this year's winner of IndieCade Grand Jury Award! 🌟🎉💖 A big, big satisfaction for all people who participated on the game - because IndieCade is not only cool and a great home to all indie and interesting games, but also the "Sundance" festival of Games, ever since Time magazine wrote it in 2014.
It is a sign that topics we deal with might appear very local (Žatec, anyone?), but nevertheless speak about more general things that people all around the world can emphasize and identify with - reconciliation with your own family and national history, ethnic tensions, the way big history gets reflected in the everyday life and is imprinted into personal belongings.
So, thank you so much! Thanks IndieCade, thanks to all fans, thanks all people involved in making Svoboda 1945 - including our dear historians and actors.
By the way, check out the rest of the winners - a very interesting company to be in.
Cheers and have a great day wherever you are! And share your favorite Svoboda 1945 memories with us, if you want. We are eager to hear them.
