The Light in the Darkness is a new video game educating young people about the Holocaust. Today, Holocaust awareness is still quite limited: a 2020 survey found that “fewer than half of respondents knew how many Jews were murdered.” While WWII is one of the most popular storylines in the world of gaming, few have touched the true reality of Nazi Germany. But game developer Luc Bernard is looking to change that with The Light in the Darkness, “a free game focused on a Jewish family that, like so many others, were persecuted by the Nazis for no other reason than their ethnicity.” The free-to-play game officially launched online in February and will be releasing on mobile, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox consoles later this year. The game follows a storyline true to history and while there is no way to “win” the game, it serves as an educational tool for players. YPulse’s Gaming report data shows 59% of Gen Z and Millennials agree it would be appropriate to use video games to teach K-12 students. (The Economist)
