41:50 Last Train Home is about the Czechoslovak Legion, which fought alongside the Triple Entente against the Central Powers in WW1. They also fought alongside the White Army against the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War. The game covers their retreat to the east, as their evacuation is made difficult through the presence of German forces encroaching ever further east into Russia, as well the the Bolsheviks (which of course were victorious in the Russian Civil War). They essentially attempt to evacuate while being surrounding on all sides by hostile forces.
Very interesting and underrated game.

Hi guys. I like your podcast and I consider it the modern Three Moves Ahead. In episode #13 about 38 minutes 32 seconds in you mention a Ukrainian game and it sounds like QuizX 3. But I don't know hos to spell it so I can't find it on Steam. How is it spelled?
