The Darkest Files - as seen on CNN edition.cnn.com/2025/09/08/e...

Our friend just launched his wonderful historical pixel art adventure Casebook 1899: The Leipzig Murders. If you are into historical crime solving - and something tells me us that you are 🕵️ - go and get it now! 🔥

Yesterday I finished The Darkest Files from @paintbucket.de. The ending brought me to tears, and I can tell I will be thinking about it for some time. It showed the human face of an otherwise impersonal system of injustice, and highlighted how that system needs people to sustain it.

We won! 🥳 Thank you so much for recognizing our efforts to make The Darkest Files accessible to more players. We believe everyone should get the chance to play the games they want and we are grateful for all the feedback we got along the way 🧡 #GamingOhneGrenzen

Thank you for the amazing trailer!

We‘re so proud to share that we were part of this special Gamescom moment: Opening Night Live! Thank you for including us and other games that are more than entertainment and that have the potential to inspire change.

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st. More info in thread...

If you are reading this, thank you! We want to invite you to a cozy community meetup. 🧡 Join us at our booth on Thursday at 2 pm and grab some special merch - we’re excited to meet you! 📍 Hall 10.2: Play games about past and current politics, democracy, its challenges, and its importance

Please sign this petition to oppose censorship from payment processors and extremists! It's made and supported by female and gender-marginalised people working in games. Collective Shout does not speak for us. They can't silence us. We will continue to stand up for freedom of expression in games.

We're happy to announce that, from today, All Quiet in the Trenches will be available as part of the Games That Remember Steam bundle, alongside the amazing game The Darkest Files by @paintbucket.de store.steampowered.com/bundle/55560...

We're part of Games Forged in Germany! 🥳 Check out all these amazing games by fellow German devs 🧡 Which game are you playing next? ➡️ store.steampowered.com/sale/Games-F...

Pro-Tipp: Das schauen und dann The Darkest Files von @paintbucket.de zocken!

Ich habe neulich mit @domschott.bsky.social über "The Darkest Files" gesprochen, das Spiel, bei dem wir mit der Kraft der Juristerei Nazis vor Gericht bringen, und wir hatten viel Spaß dabei. Sowohl mit dem Spiel als auch mit dem Podcast. www.gamespodcast.de/2025/07/22/t...

Finished my Geekset review of the historical, post-WWII true crime Courtroom game "The Darkest Files" discovered at #Gamescom2024! ✨ More important than ever. A huge shoutout to @paintbucket.de @darkestfiles.paintbucket.de! #YasePlays #review #indiegame #indiegames @geeksetpodcast.bsky.social

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

warum sagt ihr mit nicht, dass The Darkest Files im Heute Journal war? www.zdf.de/play/magazin...

"The whole game looks like it was pulled straight from a post-war political cartoon, and I am here for it. It’s stylish without being flashy, which suits the subject matter just right." 8/10 Thank you for the review Albert! thatvideogameblog.com/the-darkest-...
