Uberlaufer

Überläufer is a VR game in which you play a Wehrmacht soldier who has defected from the Third Reich. You must escape your imprisonment by completing randomly assigned objectives in a dungeon, such as collecting, destroying or photographing items.

Escape the dungeon

You have limited health, so you need to choose your actions carefully. Sound and light affect how easily you are spotted: listen for approaching guards and stay out of lit areas, where enemies can see you more easily and aim better. You can silently take out guards to avoid attracting the SS, use environmental hazards, and rely on distractions and hiding spots to survive long enough to escape.

Changing runs

The dungeon layout, objectives and soldier’s backstory change with each playthrough. You can find letters from a former prisoner to uncover his story, along with real leaflets and dossiers from the German and Austrian resistance during World War II. The game draws inspiration from the original World War II dungeon crawlers on the Apple II and Commodore 64.
