2	''1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg'' (translation: ''1916 - The Unknown War'') is a SurvivalHorror WebGame by Kriegsgraben and Stormvogel.
3
4	UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, the war to end all wars. We all know [[WarIsHell the horrors of war]], [[ShellShockedVeteran what it can do to a person's psyche]], and the lives it took.
5
6	Just not first-hand.
7
8	What really goes on inside someone's head on the battlefield? Well, here's a chance to find out. One soldier is stuck in the trenches, his only goal being to reach the ladder that'll lead him out. It seems simple enough. However, it's not just him down there. Others are down there with him, and they want him dead. And the worst part?

10	They're [[RaptorAttack not human]].

12	The game was released on the web on March 30th, 2011.

14	!!1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg contains examples of:
15	* AmbiguousSituation: Are the monsters real, or are they a hallucination in the soldier's mind? That question is never answered.
16	* ApocalypticLog: You find a letter next to a fellow soldier's corpse early on.
17	* BilingualBonus: All of the letters in the game are written in German to fully emulate being in the trenches.
18	* DeadlyGas: The ladder lies on the other side of a cloud of this stuff in the trenches. [[PlayerCharacter The soldier]] needs to find a gas mask before he can go through it.
19	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The game is presented in black and white.
20	* DrivenToSuicide: You find a dead soldier sitting slumped over the table in the bunker. Since nothing around them is damaged, it's likely he committed suicide.
21	** During the final sequence of a game, you also see a soldier hanging on a tree, though it's possible he got executed.
22	* DownerEnding: The soldier gets out of the trenches and charges along the battlefield, [[spoiler:but is shot dead before long]].
23	* FirstPersonGhost: You only see the soldier's hand or lower body during the scripted sequences, and they are absent during the normal gameplay.
24	* HeartbeatSoundtrack: You hear the soldier's elevated heartbeat when he's heavily stressed-out.
25	* MonochromaticEyes: The raptor-like monster eyes are solid white.
26	* RaptorAttack: The soldier is being stalked in the trenches by monsters that vaguely resembles raptors.
27	* WarIsHell: The all-pervading theme. You spend nearly all of the game trudging through a muddy trench in the rain, with its floor being a single ankle-deep puddle.
