December 1914

December 1914 is a comic-style narrative game about the Christmas Eve Truce during World War I. You play a soldier who has left his family to fight on the battlefield. The game takes about 30 minutes and has one ending.

Life at the front

Four interactive mini-games depict soldiers’ lives on the battlefield through objectives that include killing enemy soldiers, delivering supplies past enemy lines, firing your weapon to deter the enemy and guard positions, and executing stubborn captives.

At night, soldiers can rest briefly, receive war updates, talk with friends, eat simple military rations, smoke and look at photos of their loved ones.

Sanity

The soldier’s sanity meter changes in response to their actions. Killing someone lowers it, and it may also decrease after completing a mission. When sanity falls too low, the perspective changes, colors fade and vision becomes distorted. Supplies and thoughts of loved ones at night can restore sanity.

Christmas Eve

The Pope proposed a Christmas ceasefire, but officials in the warring countries rejected it. On Christmas Eve, a miracle began with a few brave soldiers. The game includes 52 illustrations.
