21st December 2019: Weimar Stories
Endeavour is looking for testers for an upcoming set, ‘Weimar Stories’. The storyline is as follows:
“The Great War of 1914 – 1918 ended with Germany signing the treaty of Versailles and the Entente forces imposed punishment on the defeated Germans and their newly formed government, the Weimar Republic. The golden twenties began afterward with the Great depression kicking in and causing much inflation and poverty. The cabarets went singing with the moods while the left and right wings try to consolidate their power and push for their own agenda. In this mod, you play as the enforcer of the law. Your duty is to keep Berlin safe for the people to live and the new government to prosper but many parties like the Communists and the Nazis would step in your way! Being a game about the police force, you are ill-equipped to face a revolution! Besides being a police officer, you get to play in other factions as well in future parts.” – Endeavour
