About

If you want a grounded WWI story focused on claustrophobic tunnel danger, muddy trench life, and camaraderie more than big battles, this delivers; Not for you if you dislike grim war tension or frequent flashbacks, and it may appeal to fans of Welcome to Sarajevo.

Pros: tense underground warfare; strong realism; gripping atmosphere | Cons: thin supporting characters; flashbacks disrupt momentum; uneven volume levels
