Vít Šisler
Lead Game Designer “Attentat 1942” / Charles Games, Prague

Vít Šisler is the lead game designer of the award-winning video game “Attentat 1942”. In his talk, he will critically discuss the challenges and limitations of developing serious games on contemporary history. “Attentat 1942” is a narrative video game that tells the story of Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia from the perspective of those who experienced it firsthand. When designing the game, its authors had to deal with various challenges stemming from the tensions between authenticity and fiction, realism and schematization, and narrative and procedure.
Furthermore, Vít Šisler will talk about their upcoming game “Svoboda 1945”, that deals with the contested memories of the World War II aftermath, namely the expulsion of Sudeten Germans, the rise of communism to power, and the collectivization of land.
