As the game is set in a World War II Europe, the plot is incredibly harrowing and fast-paced. The main character is Gerda, a Danish citizen who must make increasingly complex and impactful decisions that lead her to travel all around the countryside avoiding the enemy. "The story of GAFIW is inspired by the real life of Hans Von Knut's grandmother (Hans is PortaPlay's Game Director), who took part in the Danish Resistance during WW2. She shared her experiences and reflections with him, and those became the base for the conversation inside the studio that bloomed into GAFIW. We weren't looking intentionally into WW2, but rather we felt that keeping the setting true to the actual history and location can bring a sense of specificity and authenticity."
