About Zippedäus
Zippedäus is based on a historical legal case based visual novel with point-and-click elements. Through this combination, the serious game offers both entertainment and an insight into the insight into the period of National Socialism in Germany.

The case concerns Eugen Wasner, a childhood friend of a central figure in the regime at the time, who is to be charged on the basis of a controversial story about this person.
The game is presented as a classic visual novel where the players repeatedly receive important clues via point-and-click to reconstruct Wilde’s memories and continue the story. At crucial points, the course of the can be influenced by the player’s own decisions – with corresponding consequences. This allows you to explore alternative scenarios in which Wilde would have acted differently than in historical reality.
The central message always remains the same: the hopelessness and injustice of the system at the time.
