Szybowcowa '87

Szybowcowa '87 is a virtual reality experience set in the 1980s, in a secret Fighting Solidarity printing house in an apartment on Szybowcowa Street in Wrocław’s Gądów district. You explore the site where members of the Polish anti-communist underground organization produced illegal press materials in opposition to the communist regime.

The printing house

Fighting Solidarity was founded in Wrocław and gathered hundreds of members and thousands of supporters. At the Szybowcowa printing house, underground publications were made on semitransparent blotting paper, which the authorities had prohibited. The game recreates this historical location and uses digitized original documents and artifacts from archival materials to depict life in the People's Republic of Poland.

Explore and produce

You explore the printing house, produce clandestine press and listen to intercepted communications from the opposition. These activities bring you into the events and struggles of the resistance movement.
