16. This War of Mine

This War of Mine Gameplay Part 1 – "Day 1 Dawns Upon Us"

Three civilians are suddenly thrust into a dire survival situation as war breaks out right outside their front door.

Anything can happen, and your traumatized survivors can’t afford to make a single mistake. The atmosphere is tense, as you attempt to piece together a functional shelter, never quite feeling in control.

The game forces you to make harrowing moral decisions, whittling away at your crew’s morale and turning them on each other or even themselves. It’s difficult, realistic, and eye-opening, sending the most hard-hearted players desperately Googling puppies to try and ease the ache in their chest.

God of a shrinking universe: you may have control over what your survivors do, but in the heat of a violent conflict, there are some situations you just can’t salvage

Harsh reality: random events and sudden deaths can send a stable community whirling towards disaster in minutes
