    I feel once again that the Steam review system shows it’s limitations here. On the one hand, I found Gerda to be a decent enough game. On the other it didn’t live up fully to my hopes. I could thumb it down, which then depending on the volume of reviews either unfairly marks down a decent enough game, or just gets lost in the noise anyway. As such I’ve gone with a thumbs up since it is a decent little game. On paper…

    Great story. Nice approach. Decisions are everything in this game that makes you experience the difficult times around World War II. Worth the experience. I'm thinking of getting the Liva's expansion.

    This is a really cool narrative game, with good story, and interesting setting. I would really like to give this a positive review, as I liked most of it. Unfortunately, it has some cons that soured my taste with it: - Twice I ran into an bug in which, after an autosave, the logs/dialogue/narration claimed I'd made a choice I had not done in the previous scene. In one of these cases it only changed a minor dialogue…
