About This Demo

Telegraphist 1920: Beats of War is a narrative rhythm game that invites you to experience history like never before.

Use your telegraph key to send Morse code messages to the rhythm. Experience the daily life of a communications unit - operate the radio station, improve your telegraphy skills and strengthen the bond with your crew.

This unique genre combo merges gripping storytelling with challenging rhythm-based gameplay. Here, you are not just a player; you are the conductor of a life-and-death symphony.

Step into the year 1920, a time when the world stood at a crossroads. The aftermath of World War I had left Europe scarred, and the winds of revolution stirred across the continent.

In this era, Poland found itself in a desperate fight, standing against the ever-expanding Soviet Russia - a force determined to spread communism across the entire world.

The Polish-Bolshevik War erupted - threatening Europe with catastrophic consequences…

Will you take part in the fight against the Soviet invasion? Step up as a radiotelegraphist amidst the chaos of everything at once.

You are the critical link between commanders and soldiers. Use your sharp sense of rhythm and mastery of Morse code to relay critical orders to the frontline.

Tune into the intense soundtrack as you tap out dots and dashes and manipulate the unreliable radiostation machinery.

Though you are miles from the conflict, your heart beats with the rhythm of distant combat…

The game offers many hours of content through:

• Dynamic Gameplay: React to rapidly changing conditions - from broken machines to the fatigue of endless hours on duty.
  
• Extensive Storyline: Relive the dramatic Polish-Soviet War through a gripping narrative. Strengthen the bond with characters who share your daily struggles.
  
• Learn Morse Code: Play minigames that teach you Morse code from scratch. Challenge your skills in Mastery Mode and tap out historically accurate messages.
  
• Boss Encounters: Confront Soviet commanders, jam their signals and break their ciphers.
  
• Room Customization: Customize your room with a trove of authentic items from the post-WW1 era. Each item carries its own story, forging a connection to the past.
  
• Custom Campaigns: Create your own levels using the built-in Level Editor and share them with others via the Steam Workshop.

Are you ready to become a Telegraphist?
