The Darkest Files is a game focused on investigating Nazi crimes post-WWII to seek justice for victims. Director Jörg Friedrich emphasizes the crucial role of games in reflecting societal issues such as the current threats to democracy and minority rights. He asserts that video games can be powerful artistic mediums that inspire action and change. Friedrich appreciates the growing involvement of the game industry and institutions like the European Commission and the United Nations in supporting responsible projects like his. This initiative is highlighted at Gamescom 2025, showcasing various socially conscious games.
"Games are more than entertainment; like any great form of art they reflect our concerns, our fears, our hopes, and what preoccupies us. Democracy is under attack right now. Minority rights are being violated."
"The world is becoming increasingly interconnected. So games are a powerful medium for addressing these issues and they have the potential to inspire change."
