Attentat 1942 is a Czech point-and-click adventure game, in which players take the role of Jindřich Jelínek’s grandchild. Jelínek was arrested by the Gestapo shortly after the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, ruler of the Nazi-occupied Czech lands and the leading architect of The Holocaust. The objective of the game is to establish what role he played in the attack, as well as the reason for his arrest. Throughout the investigation, players interview eyewitnesses, discover the family’s back story and learn more about life in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Wikipedia
