All Quiet in the Trenches

About this game

1915, World War I, Western Front. As a German Unteroffizier, you are responsible for a group of soldiers. Whether they will survive the war is in your hands. Welcome to the trenches, Herr Unteroffizier!



The time in the camp is marked by heavy labor with an insecure supply situation. Is there enough time for the men to rest? Can they process the horrors they have experienced and mourn the fallen?



Your decisions between the needs of the soldiers and the demands of the superiors result in a unique story each time. But your choices don't change the war. They change the life of your soldiers.



The chaos of war threatens the physical and mental well-being of the soldiers. Again and again you have to make decisions in an attempt to face the fatal coincidences of the battlefield.

On our homepage you can find our Early Access Roadmap and FAQ for the game.

  Dev Diary #036 – Uniforms & Seasonal Clothing

  Hello everyone,Over the past month, we’ve been working on several projects simultaneously. Alongside new diary entries, we’ve also started developing a major new feature for the Trench phase. However, as this feature requires a bit more time, we expect to be able to release it in one of the updates after the next one.There have also been some developments on the visual front:In response to numerous requests, soldiers will wear seasonal clothing from the next update onwards. In winter, for example, some soldiers will be seen wearing coats, tube scarves and/or wristlets.In hot weather, you’ll see soldiers with their shirt sleeves rolled up. As part of this, we’ll also add a few more uniform variations that were common amongst the infantry on the Western Front at the time.In addition, our soldiers will then – particularly at the start of the game – wear the marching boots known as ‘Knobelbecher’ much more frequently. From autumn 1915 onwards, leather items worn on the body will also be increasingly depicted as blackened in the game, as was the practice to improve camouflage.The next update will therefore be a mix of diary entries, graphical content, and additions to existing content, and it probably won’t be too long before it goes live!

  Dev Diary #035 – Physical Condition

  Hello everyone,last week, the first update of our Road to End of War was released. As well as a number of improvements, it also included a significant change that we haven’t addressed in detail yet: the overhaul of the physical condition.Before the Hospital Update, this attribute was called Fitness. We had been somewhat dissatisfied with this for some time, as the term gave the impression that soldiers were supposed to improve their fitness through physical exertion. In reality, however, fitness was mainly increased by double rations, which felt neither particularly intuitive nor thematically appropriate. Following the new update, the traits Strong and Weak now determine a soldier’s physical performance. Projects and numerous conditions that previously assessed the ‘training aspect’ now use these traits.Physical condition itself now describes a soldier’s general state of health. It declines following illness, injury or other stressful circumstances and primarily affects the rate of recovery and the likelihood of successfully overcoming a serious illness or injury.Poor physical condition still causes soldiers to tire more quickly, but there is now a key difference in terms of balancing: standard rations are now enough for it to recover.This marks the end of a tactic that was previously almost a must: obtaining extra food as early as possible in order to be able to permanently hand out double rations and thus quickly bring all soldiers up to the highest level should never have been the only sensible approach.Along with further balancing adjustments, the additional project feedback and the loading screen tips, we hope to have made the game easier to understand and more accessible, particularly for new players. We’d be interested to hear how the difficulty level feels at the moment. Are there any areas where the game still feels too hard or perhaps even too easy?The last update was all about improvements and balancing. In the next update, we’d like to shift the focus ba...
