"Sebastian Frank: The Beer Hall Putsch is a refreshing take on the adventure game genre. They have done a great job crafting a unique game inspired by historic events"
— John Passfield, creator of Flight of the Amazon Queen
The German nation is economically devastated, as it is forced to pay incredibly sizeable reparations to France and Great Britain. These economical and social circumstances determine how the society behaves. The union is unstable and the times are tumultuous as people become increasingly divided by their convictions.
A movement called NSDAP (Socialist German Workers' Party) with the working class electorate is exerting pressure on the Weimar Republic. An Austrian born figure is rapidly and skillfully increasing his influence in the party and in the German Society.
His name is Adolf Hitler.
Despite his influence, not everyone is convinced. Sebastian Frank knows Hitler better than most of the people. He first met Hitler in Vienna in 1908 when they both applied to study at the Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts. Later they served Germany together in WWI. Sebastian has great influence in a counter movement that is trying to prevent Hitler from seizing power.
He and his fellowship find Hitler’s ideas threatening and dangerous to the nation and the world and are determined to stop him!
The game has more than 40 colourful and engaging characters. Sebastian Frank, Stephanie Kiss and S. Hafner together, strengthen the movement trying to put an end to Hitler’s strive for rise to power.
The player controls the main character, Sebastian, on this quest.
Sebastian Frank: the Beer Hall Putsch is a Point and Click Adventure Game inspired by the classics. The player has to guide the character throughout a series of puzzles which involve exploration, picking up and combining objects and interacting with other characters.

Budget and Timeline
We have been working hard on this project for the last 6 months. We have worked on the script, the business plan, we have established important contacts and networks and built the game engine, gathered the right team for this project and prepared this presentation so you can help us get it funded. The amount pledged will represent 30% of the total budget. We are very committed to this project and we will invest our own money to cover all the expenses. The money will be invested in paying the Staff, materialising the art and design, the music, audio and voice acting. Taxes, rent, accountants, legal, and other business expenses are a necessary evil as you all know. The remaining sum is attributed to hardware and software, marketing, quality assurance and crowdfunding fees.
