Content notice: De Profundis 1454 contains mature themes and realistic depictions of war and survival in the 15th century. The game includes: Violence: Tactical combat with realistic injury, blood, and death. No gore or dismemberment, but combat is brutal and unflinching. Themes: War trauma, loss, poverty, execution, and moral hardship. The story follows outcasts facing cruelty, injustice, and survival in a harsh world. Language: Period-appropriate dialogue that may include strong language or offensive terms reflective of the era. Other: Depictions of alcohol use in historical context (taverns, soldier culture). No drug use. There is no sexual content, no nudity, and no depictions of sexual assault or non-consensual acts. The game does not glorify violence — it presents it as part of a difficult, human story. Recommended for players who appreciate historical realism and emotionally weighty narratives.

About this game
De Profundis 1454 is a turn-based tactical game, set in the first year of the war between the Teutonic Order and the Kingdom of Poland. As a player, you lead a group of simple civilians- outcasts, who are trying to survive in the area of several armies, each of which uses scorched earth tactics.
The people you have under your command are not proud knights in shining armor, not mercenaries, dogs of this war, who make a living out of it. Not even brigands, armed and very familiar with violence. A bathouse wench. City executioner. Ratcatcher. A group of street urchins. A nun. Fighting not for a king or a golden coin, but to survive another day, to get another meal.
Use the terrain, your opponent's weaknesses and the strengths of your people to secure a victory, but always remember, that cold, sickness and hunger kill as easily as a sword, and the greatest danger may not always come from the enemy, but from those who are next to you.
A game created by nerds for nerds, in which the reconstruction of buildings and units is based on archaeological and archival research. The unvarnished reality of war seen through the eyes of civilians, a war in which the only victory is survival, and history does not even try to remember the nameless fallen. z
This is not a war for glory.
This is a story about those omitted by history books. Those who lived – and died – in the shadow of great history.
Features:
Turn-based tactical combat on a hex grid, with permanent injuries and morale under pressure.
Survival driven by hunger, cold, and scarcity — every choice weighs on the group.
A meticulously recreated mid-15th century world: landscapes, villages, and strongholds of the Teutonic Knights’ domain, based on archaeological research.
Mid XV century weapons, clothing, armor, and gear — all grounded in historical records.
