2025’s Gamescom Opening Night Live exhibition presented “The Darkest Files,” “Glasshouse,” and “Compensation Not Guaranteed” – three games with democracy as a central narrative theme. Both “The Darkest Files” and the other two games were part of the Gamescom Cares segment, a program designed to champion socially responsible projects.
On the first day of Gamescom 2025, major releases like “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7” were the highlight, but the event also offers spaces such as the “Home of Indies” and the “Indie Arena Booth.” In these zones, attendees can uncover fresh titles from studios like “Let Them Trade” by Spaceflower, “Media Circus” by Papercoda Games, and “Knightica” by Mad Mango Games. Beyond these specific areas, indie games were also a key part of the first day, with three of them grabbing the spotlight.
Gamescom 2025 Highlights Games With Stories About Democracy and War
At Gamescom Opening Night Live, we got a sneak peek at gameplay for three politically-themed games: “Glasshouse”, “The Darkest Files”, and “Compensation Not Guaranteed”. For those interested, they can delve deeper into “The Darkest Files”, an investigative adventure set in post-war Germany in 1956. “Glasshouse” offers a turn-based experience within a post-capitalist world on the verge of a significant global conflict. Lastly, “Compensation Not Guaranteed” evokes the success of “Papers, Please”, set in an anthropomorphic animal world where players must persuade citizens to surrender their land to the government.
