🏡wanted! Let us know if you know about any nice places we could check out, here or at info(at)charlesgames.net🏡 Much obliged.

We are five years old!🎂To remind ourselves of the journey we've made so far, we created a little video, a look back at our humble beginnings as well as our next accomplishments. And we are truly grateful to our fans. Without you, there would be no us. Here’s to another five years!

New We Grew Up in War teaser is in the works! With a lot of new gameplay, sounds and MUSIC.🎶 Stay tuned, out soon together with a revamped Steam page to celebrate our fifth anniversary that is almost here. 🎉

Testing new mics. Adjusting our hair (well, Lucie’s, really). Behind-the-scenes look at We Grew Up in War in progress. A video series soon about our game set in Ukraine, Syria and Bosnia. (Get acquainted in advance at store.steampowered.com/app/3254380/...)

An exciting project we are part of with We Grew Up in War just joined Bluesky! Consider following if games and museums and memory is your thing.

We made a starter pack for A MAZE. Awards Winners & Nominees! 🦩🏆 Fill your feed with cool playful creatives: 👉 go.bsky.app/SYZLh43 Tried to find everyone we could on Bluesky, but if we missed you give us a shout in the replies 🗨️ #AMazeAwards #AMazeFest

Today marks 80 years from the liberation of Auschwitz. It’s an important reminder that we should never forget these atrocities to not repeat them. We hope our games add at least a bit to that effort. Meet Jakub, whose story is based on real prisoners’ memories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spz6...

🇨🇿Charles Games bude pět! 🎂 Přijďte s námi tohle výjimečné jubileum oslavit, podívat se na exkluzivní teaser nové hry, pokusit se zvítězit se v kvízu a potkat se.🌟 Bude to velké a milé! Těšíme se na vás v Kampus Hybernská už za pár týdnů. www.facebook.com/events/13331...

In our next game We Grew Up in War, you don’t pick dialogues, but emotions our children protagonists’ feel when faced with dire circumstances, oftentimes turning to fantasy to make sense of it all. Coming Q1 2026. (gif is cropped & WIP) #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiegames

No brainer. If you have a game, consider joining along with many others. And thank you, Brandon and the team, for putting this together. Happily adding Attentat 1942 & Svoboda 1945 to help a charity cause through play.

Wonderful! If you’re somebody interested in using games in historical education, the last lesson of this tutorial series explores just that – using our games and adding a bunch of resources. Thanks so much for your work, means a lot to us.

Hello Bluesky, it’s recap time!🗓️As 2024 comes to a close, we want to reflect on what happened in our studio, in our games and in our Charles Games community!⭐️A thread of games, new colleagues and more. (This is us during late summer team building – Ondřej, Lucie, Lukáš, Tereza and Lucie)

Since we are in a festive mood before Christmas, we decided to gather some scenes from Velvet 89 and compile a wallpaper for you to freely use on your devices. It is a thank you for playing Velvet 89 and being our fans. 🖼️ Get them in 4K here: e.pcloud.link/publink/show...

This is how it looked like during a workshop our CEO Lukáš led at @gamesforchange.bsky.social Türkiye Festival about Playing Kafka. Thank you Bahçeşehir Uni and BUG Game Lab for hosting and inviting us to dive into the intersection of games, literature and history together.

Photos from @gamesforchange.bsky.social Türkiye Festival hosted at Bahçeşehir University by BUG Game Lab came! During Day 1 our CEO Lukáš had a talk about remembering history through games. Thank you for the invitation! 🇹🇷📚🎮

A new milestone! We are really grateful for all of you who played Velvet 89 from all across the world and to our partners at @peopleinneed.bsky.social that we could help in spreading the ethos of the Velvet Revolution.✌️

Partners appreciation time!🩵 Turkish localisation of Playing Kafka was made possible by our friends at (BUG) Bahçeşehir University Game Lab and Goethe-Institut İstanbul. Thank you! (And play the game on iOS, Android and Steam at charlesgames.net/playing-kafk...

Thanks to our partners we’re happy to bring Playing Kafka to yet another language—Turkish! 🇹🇷 Some of us at Charles Games visited the country and loved it and we hope Turkish players will love our in-game Kafka/K. Live everywhere now (for free): charlesgames.net/playing-kafk... #indiegame #kafka
