Meppen 1638

Immerse yourself in a fantastic adventure and the time of the 30 Years' War in Emsland. The city of Meppen has been occupied by Swedish soldiers since 1633. Their leader is the feared Dodo from Inn- and Knyphausen, who calls himself “Lord of the Emsland” and resides in the magnificent Paulsburg. The occupation harasses the city's residents and suppresses the Catholic faith. It is the brothers of the Jesuit order who are particularly a thorn in the side of the Protestant Swedes... The citizens of Meppen suffer under the heavy hand of the occupiers: violence, hunger and suffering are omnipresent. An oppressive atmosphere hangs over the city. Many find themselves in need because what little they have goes to the soldiers who have been forcibly billeted. But in the midst of these dark times, there is also hope – and resistance. While most people try to come to terms with the situation or even benefit from it, a few brave ones dare to rebel against the oppressors. Meppen is not only characterized by the terror of the occupiers, but also by busy activity: the fortress is being expanded and strengthened. Walls, bridges and gates are built and the city is surrounded with an impregnable ring of fortifications. It seems almost impossible to overcome the strong walls and moats. Plunge into an exciting adventure and become part of a conspiracy against Swedish rule and to liberate the city! Collect the five keys to open the fortress gates and let the liberators into the city. Team up with the locals, discover hidden clues and take on dangerous tasks to save Meppen. Are you ready for an exciting and exciting mission - the fate of the city and its people is in your hands!
