Saint-Malo, 1944
Europe, 1944. World War II is reaching its turning point, but the cost grows heavier each day. Across France, young soldiers, exhausted civilians, and underground fighters are drawn into a struggle that will decide the future of the continent. The ancient city of Saint-Malo lies under German occupation, its granite walls fortified by Wehrmacht troops, Kriegsmarine batteries, and the ever-present threat of the Gestapo. Civilians live under rationing, raids, and fear of reprisals, while rumors of Allied advances spread through crowded streets and darkened cellars. Beyond the coastline, American and British forces prepare their final push: the US Army moves steadily through the countryside, the USAAF flies dangerous reconnaissance missions, and the Royal Navy coordinates bombardments from Portsmouth and the Channel. Each step toward Saint-Malo brings new risks, new sacrifices, and new alliances. Across the region, Resistance cells organize sabotage, intelligence gathering, and protection for civilians. Young fighters, rural Maquis, and covert couriers operate in tunnels, forests, and safe houses—knowing that a single mistake could mean death for everyone around them. In this world of shifting loyalties and constant danger, your path is not predetermined. Fight alongside the Allied forces as they battle toward liberation. Join the French Resistance and strike from the shadows. Or survive as a civilian caught between armies, ideology, and the ruins of war. The choices you make will shape not only the fate of Saint-Malo, but the lives of everyone trapped within its walls.
