Social Democracy: An Alternate History - A free itch.io strategy game where you play as the Social Democratic Party of Germany during the interwar years and have to prevent the rise of the Nazis

Highly recommend this to everyone who gives a shit about interwar Germany. It's either closely inspired by or had convergent evolution with the classic 1988 game Hidden Agenda, which should be an entire genre of game that everyone makes about the history of a country/time period they know.

Personally I'm not gonna play this one. I'm sure it's a great game but for personal reasons I am unable to give a frick. I know that interwar Germany has some fascination for Eurocentric bland pinko socialist midwits who think it's the most important thing since the Barricades at Paris or that time when the French sat on the different sides of the aisle at some estate sale.

Newsflash from 1939: None of this shit mattered at all in the slightest. My people fought these Hun bastards in the first war and came back and they were the same bastards except they called themselves Nazis that time. They all rallied around the flag when the war started, all the "socialists" just like in 1914. Maybe you learned about this shit from Prof. von Krautenstein, I learned about it from WW2 vets. They had done this shit before. They had to go back and fight the same ones who had made a treacherous peace before. And when they were on Omaha Beach or the Po Valley they really didn't give a shit which ones might have supported abortion in 1928. If you want to see a good simulation of the kraut level of behavior, try SimAnt.

As far as game mechanics and basic concept: excellent. As far as anything you should give a shit about, try Hidden Agenda. It's about Central America in the 1980s, something way more relevant to the lives of everyone who isn't an effete eurotrash softpeepee wearing a black turtleneck judging art films in East Germany.
