Wartime setting
A fictional spy story set against Rotterdam’s real 1940 rupture
The MI6 mission and its characters are fictional. Its May 1940 setting is not: Rotterdam was bombed on 14 May, after which large parts of the city centre were destroyed.
That distinction matters. This is a story game inspired by the city’s wartime landscape, not a replacement for a historical museum or memorial visit. Playable languages: English, German, French, Dutch.
