Game development in the museum: Game station “Autumn 89 – On the streets of Leipzig”

The interactive game station “Autumn 89 – On the streets of Leipzig” is located in the exhibition “Roads not Taken – Oder: Es hätte auch anders kommen können”. In this application, the events of 9 October 1989 in Leipzig can be followed by means of an interactive graphic novel, and the players can influence the outcome of that day by the choices they make. Project head Elisabeth Breitkopf-Bruckschen relates here how the DHM is finding new ways to communicate history through gamification.
