The feathers of the wings are layered, with the upper and lower bands a charcoal blue while the middle band is a more vivid turquoise in colouration. She's looking up from her book at the viewer, a placid expression on her face; a soft golden glow shines down on her, the better for her to see what she's reading.

You're helping Grandma with their house and discover Grandpa was taken to Auschwitz in 1942.. but why? Investigate this mystery and uncover his past.
                                                                                                                                          This is much more of a visual novel than a "game". You mostly listen/watch/read (subtitles cause dialogue is not in English) FMV clips of actors playing various characters, then click stuff. Lots more reading, as there's lots of "encyclopedia" entries and text dialogues to advance through.
                                                                                                                                          The actors are great. Even tho I didn't understand the languages spoken, you can see they're really into their roles and their emotions pull you into the story. Music is chosen to fit the settings and situations well.
                                                                                                                                          Naturally there's some heavy content here and they don't pull punches with the videos either, so fair warning if you're sensitive to historical videos of atrocities and death.
                                                                                                                                          I found this experience to be very informative, as it covers the Holocaust from a lesser talked about area of Europe and includes a Roma character in a decently important side role to the overall story. And IDK, kinda felt like this was a good time to refresh and expand my knowledge of that part of WW2, considering. If you're interested in history and learning stuff, and like to read I would definitely recommend checking out Attentat.
