The MachineGames Continuity

Lore & Background

Central to the lore is the concept of advanced technology and the escalation of the Nazi war machine, driven by Deathshead's experiments. While his research involves cutting-edge science, the core narrative does not revolve around time manipulation or temporal displacement. The protagonist's actions shape the resistance's fight against the regime, but without creating paradoxes or altering history across decades.

In Their Own Story

The rain slicked the cobblestones of occupied Paris as the neon signs flickered overhead. He checked his weapon, the familiar weight grounding him against the uncertainty of tomorrow. Somewhere in the shadows, the regime's eyes watched, waiting for a mistake. But he had made mistakes before and lived to fight again. Tonight was not about survival; it was about striking back at the heart of their control.

Reader's Guide

The saga begins with a prequel detailing a rescue mission in occupied Europe involving a fortified castle complex. The main narrative opens decades after Operation Eisenfaust, where the protagonist awakens from a coma to find the Axis powers victorious globally. He joins a resistance group known as the Freikorps, dismantling Nazi superweapons and assassinating key leadership figures across Germany and America. A crucial divergence occurs at the end of the second chapter, revealing time travel technology built by the antagonist faction. The hero utilizes this device to alter history, saving his family from execution but erasing his own existence in the resulting timeline. This leads directly into a sequel set in 1980s Paris. Here, his nieces inherit the mantle of resistance without their uncle present. They navigate a fractured world where reality shifts based on temporal anomalies and dimensional rifts. The story explores how different choices ripple through time, connecting the soldier’s legacy to a new generation fighting against a regime that never truly fell despite years of struggle.
