Gerda: A Flame in Winter is an unforgettable adventure. Its compelling graphics and evocative music provide a backdrop for a powerful World War II narrative, which builds to an unusually suspenseful finale.
It will never not be uncomfortable to see genocide and any kind of game mechanics on screen at the same time. But Gerda avoids this as best it can, offering us a game that puts history at the forefront, understanding that nothing else is more important. It’s an uncomfortable journey, but one that shows what RPG-lites are capable of.

Gerda: A Flame in Winter offers a fantastic experience for individuals interested in exploring the history of Denmark and the life of an ordinary nurse. Comparably, this can be likened to 11 bit's game "This War of Mine," which is showcased at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Gerda A Flame in Winter is an interesting and well-written graphic adventure that takes us to one of the lesser-known and lesser-treated World War II fronts in the video game market. Its only limitations are basic animations and a not particularly long running time, but these are elements that may go by the wayside given the overall quality of the narrative and the variety of situations we will encounter.
Buoyed by consistently strong writing, Gerda: A Flame in Winter handles its compelling narrative with aplomb.
Though the game can be completed in under ten hours, Gerda: A Flame in Winter contains multitudes beneath its exterior. I was held in suspense even when I had to shut the game down to go about my life. The choose-your-own-adventure gameplay style made me feel responsible for Gerda’s well-being and the people around her, even as her life was spinning out of control. Though not everything works and the narrative feels slightly too short, it’s also a wild ride that should satisfy those who enjoy the twists and turns of a hearty spy story. The world was a cold and cruel place during the Second Great War, and Gerda: A Flame in Winter provides an intense glimpse of how it felt to live back then.
In Gerda: A Flame In Winter, you have six hours to live a small but eventful life, full of contradictions and moral torment. It is the life of a person who did not participate in his own war but who understands that it will not work to stay away anyway.
Gerda: A Flame in Winter offers a somewhat optimistic glimpse at the lives of ordinary folks caught in the war. It will push players to decide where their loyalties lie, though the drama of conversation is often lost for the sake of an RPG point system.
Summary Walk the path of Gerda as her quiet life is turned upside down during the World War 2 occupation of her small Danish village. How far would you go to protect your loved ones?
