What about a video game where you play as a completely minor, historically insignificant bureaucrat working inside one of the ministries of Nazi Germany?
The game wouldn’t be about supporting the regime — instead, the core gameplay would revolve around surviving the internal politics, resource struggles, and moral traps of a collapsing dictatorship.

Your character’s goals would be:

Navigate inter‑agency conflict as powerful figures in Hitler’s inner circle fight over resources, authority, and influence.

Avoid being forced into complicity with war crimes or illegal orders. The challenge is staying unnoticed enough to survive, but principled enough not to cross moral lines.

Manage paperwork, directives, and political pressure in a system where a single mistake can ruin your life.

Prepare for the inevitable post‑war consequences, because the “endgame” takes place after Germany’s defeat. Historians, tribunals, and de-Nazification boards evaluate your actions.

Your final score would depend on:

Whether you avoided participating in atrocities.

Whether you resisted quietly, stalled harmful directives, or protected innocents without being caught.

How historians later interpret your legacy:

“A bureaucrat who kept his head down and avoided wrongdoing.”

“A collaborator who claimed to ‘just follow orders.’”

“A quiet resister who tried to mitigate harm.”

The game would focus on ethical decision‑making, survival under authoritarianism, and the human cost of bureaucracy, not on glorifying the regime.

99.9% of companies who make video games do it out of making money not for any sort of political agenda and it will be controversial enough with you just working as a Nazi in any industry it World War II. Also there's plenty of Eternal conflict among the Nazis during the war it's something I find most things under look about Nazi Germany when you're seeing documentaries unless you're looking specifically at the Inner Circle more than the war or Hitler himself .

>another jewish propaganda game about a nearly century old conflict that has little to do with anybody living today
I can only see jews and boomers being interested. Actually scratch that on boomers, they don't play video games.
>>
>>737315429
It has a lot to do with a lot of people live in today and it's a hypothetical game and what makes you believe that any Jew would have anything to do with making this happen when it's a very popular subject World War ii? And it's only propaganda if they're doing things like forcing you to play it or they're lying to you about what actually happened and what it's like.

>>737313989
The USSR would be a better setting, considering how often they culled their own people. Without gulags the premise doesn't quite pan out.
>>
>>737315852
You got some good points for that but what that actually is an actual beginning and end point other than you just get killed off that's when's the game ends I'm not sure there's even an endpoint now. in the modern day if you started out in Russia With the Communist Party.

Nazi Germany also had struggles of power all the time in which certain elements were purged especially if they threatened the top dogs goals (ernst röhm and the SA for example)
this is how most autocratic regimes work

I mentioned the original idea I wanted to an AI to help me clean it up and it mentioned this (You’re pitching a bureaucratic survival game set inside a historical dictatorship, which is absolutely a valid genre when handled responsibly (think Papers, Please, Beholder, Pentiment, etc.). ) anyone here know what any of those games are? This idea didn't come out of thin air I seen ordinary People out to be in dictate a ship or bad situation video games before.

Add someone pointed out you can basically do the same premise to the Soviet Union probably at sequel at this game is successful enough.

Won't happen. (((They))) don't want to people to realize that nazis were normal people exactly like you and me instead of the cartoon villains they're portrayed as in propaganda.

Because games nowadays censor themselves so thoroughly it's impossible to get game like this greenlit.

>>737315637
lmao no it doesn't. It has about as much relevance to us as the napoleonic war had relevance to people during ww2.
>>
>>737317052
I don't think they're telling you that what happened in World War II was like a video game every time you play a World War II video game. And do you have any evidence that lying to you about what actually happened in World War II in video games? And no Nazi did war crimes does not equal they lied to you that's established historical fact.
>>
>>737317059
Many Nazis were actually quite cartoony level of evil and what they actually did do not everyone underneath them was a war criminal though especially when that included most of freaking Germany.

It's not out yet but The Conformist kinda promises to be just that.

>>737317084
If you ask historians they would tell you that's actually a lot more than you would realize about Napoleon Wars have an effect on World War 2 Especially things like the destruction of the Holy Roman Empire which was combined into the state of Germany the wise in disregard of monarchies and the power of the Catholic Church there's probably a lot more that not quite on the top of my head that stuff like traditional balances of powers that were upset extremely and the advancement of technology and military tactics modern-day stuff like the UN was affected by World War II the Security Council is made up primarily of the allies and it being older than you or your parents doesn't make it not relevant when it was the deadliest war on human history that has changed multiple Landscapes and political tensions for it since non-stop to this day even what's going on between the US and Russia Today can be traced back to the Soviet Union and the USA post World War II .
>>
>>737317126
I mean in that they always lie about the entire war.
The germans were the good guys and the true victims of the war, everything we are told about them are complete lies and they are always demonized and portrayed as evil.

the post war courts ensured that axis war crimes were condemned on paper while brits/americans bombing millions of civilians is "a continued debate whether it was a war crime or not"
>>
>>737317435
Stayton facts contradicted heavily by evidence like the fact that Hitler started the war by invaded Poland on justifiably and know that fake false flag of some citizens of Poland attacking a German radio station even if it was real would not have been justification for invading Poland. Hitler got more than enough then he ever set up through appeasement and when they said no he should have known that would have been war and he would have lost even after the fall of France before he declared war on the Soviet Union and USA.
>>737317540
It's funny you didn't actually mention the Soviet Union who Hitler was Allied with previously and you ignore the fact that the the Nazi Air Forces with bombing civilian targets for terrorizing reasons long before America or Britain was weaken in the ability to wage war by bombing factories.
>>
>>737317670
Shalom.

>>737317670
whole lot of whataboutism to side step the fact that we dont know whether killing civilians is okay or not when the good guys are doing it.

>>737313989
>The game wouldn’t be about supporting the regime
I don't get the urge for white people to paint nazis and other far-right beliefs as this nuanced apolitical regime where no one had a choice. They had multiple options including conservative ones and rejected all of them for the most overtly discriminatory one about killing minorities.

The reason why they paint themselves as being morally complicated is because they lost the war and don't want to be held accountable for war crimes, if they won it then they would boast about it being a black-and-white decision and boast about being early believers.

There would be no nazism without state-sanctioned murder of minorities.

>>737316339
There was infighting, but most of it was under the basis of them believing that they weren't doing fascism properly.

Hitler bombed London and several British towns before they struck back at factories in Dresden.

I'm sorry to report to your delusional mind that there's no evidence I'm Jewish just by saying established historical facts and to my knowledge I don't even have any Jewish family members.
>>737317854


A major difference for America and Britain was they did not civilians for the sake of Exterminating this people or just to kill civilians but to actively and the war you can argue that those are all kinds are not but that doesn't make the Germany the more innocent side in the war with the Nazis exterminations and deliberate retaliation against civilian populations just because resistance Fighters killed one of the leadership like those towns that will wipe out just because Himmler investigator got killed multiple entire towns from the same country he was controlling got wiped out.

Winston Churchill is not nowadays regarded as on image of more clarity even if it was worse also Jews old restaurant in the Middle East nowadays than they did before World War II which happened after Israel was created so yeah they got more lands on from them than the Palestinians ever owned. But quit trying to move the goal post and trying to change what the discussion is about to make any time saying Nazis bad into saying the Jews are worse because they took someone from people trying to kill them who got in order to make it easier to kill them.

Nta but the truth is that National Socialists were good people while jews are the most evil pieces of shit that have ever existed.
Also:
>Jews
Using the word "jews" with a capital J is something a kike or a glownigger would do.
>>
>>737319064
I'm using speech to text it just does that I'm not Jewish and I don't even know what you mean by glownigger .Also if you want to argue about how evil you think Jews are I think you need to go to the political board not be trying to discuss video games about World War II on a not white supremacist website.And no day it will not good people they kill people in the night of the Long Knives for doing the job and not letting the Nazis take over Germany in a crazy ass illegal attempt to force a retake power.

>>737320063
I'm not from Israel and I'm not Jewish.You had the exact opposite reaction for any Islamic country that borders Israel despite them having way more capacity to take him more citizens than Israel ever could.And no American Jews having different opinions about borders than people in Israel do is not hypocrisy when they're not telling you about Israel's borders and know the situation for America and Israel is extremely different besides just the fact that one has a Jewish majority and one has a Jewish minority.
>>
>>737313989
Sounds really boring.
If you want to do something like this it needs multiple routes, ideally without too much moral grandstanding.

Konrad Morgen was a historical SS judge who worked in internal oversight and investigation through WW2. He survived the post-war without any criminal charges, and successfully defended himself by basically claiming that everything he did as an autistic red tape and rules obsessed kraut bureaucrat only hindered the holocaust.

I wonder what people who complain about World War II getting new video games and media today will say if they actually understood things like how much the 3 kingdoms get video games made in China despite being over a thousand years ago and from mostly countries that were not involved and many cases didn't even exist when that war was going on?
>>
>>737313989
>The game wouldn’t be about supporting the regime

then there is no point in making it.
we have thousands of media done by the victors that present your view point already.
Give us something different, give us a game that goes against the grain of mainstream media and it's owners.
>>
>>737326480
You shouldn't be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian and this is something different than most World War II set video games.And no one is forcing the video game industry to do this other than their own desire for profit there are games where you can play as the Nazis you know in the actual War that doesn't mean you need to pretend they are good people for some reason and as plenty of video games where you play horrible people and it's just like whatever.
>>
>>737326814
>You shouldn't be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian
Why not, when 99.999999% of all media presents you with one option.
Maybe its interesting to explore another option that isn't that.
>And no one is forcing the video game industry to do this
quite literally forced to do it because of
>profit
not that nobody would buy it, but because the powers in control right now would bury who ever dared to go against their narrative.
Simple as that.
You aren't allowed to criticize the people who rule over you.

>>737327002
They also have that same opinion about killing random people on the street just because they have a different skin tone as you sometimes they do so you got opinion because it's the obvious correct one to have.Second prophet is not them being forced to do it it's them doing it for their own interest because that's what people like they can go out to a friend's Target demographic who likes bad guys being portrayed as the good guys but that's not the same thing as them being forced to do something . What do you mean by the powers of control? people would insult them is somehow forcing them to do it they're going to be insulted by people no matter what they do if a World War II game that's not the same thing as those people controlling their accents The government is not going to charge them extra money just for me in again they don't agree with you can look at plenty of video games to show yeah that's stupid reasoning on your part with plenty of video games having their own country's government as bad guys Also have you seen Family Guy South Park any adults cartoon multiple sources of media in the Free World you can and you do it all the time it's the people who threatening you when you do that should be concern and no being insulted for how you do it is not the same thing as not being allowed to.

>>737328807
That makes no sense when you're saying something not in evidence and two Germany declared war on America not the other way around. You know it happened after Pearl Harbor Hitler had no confidence in America doing anything competent against them.
