Tonight, you step far from the front lines of World War II and onto a small, fragile minesweeper—one of the quietest and most dangerous roles of the war.

You are not here to fight the enemy directly. You are here to erase what they left behind.

In this immersive, second-person historical experience, you live through the slow, procedural life of a WWII minesweeper. You follow charts instead of orders shouted in anger. You listen for what shouldn’t be there. You clear sea lanes for ships you will never see, knowing that success means nothing happens—and failure leaves no warning at all.
