This War of Mine
A war game where you're not the soldier. You're the one trying to find bread. 🕯️
Who it's for
Most war games make you the hero; this one makes you responsible for keeping frightened, hungry people alive, and then asks what you are willing to take from someone else to do it.
Feelings it meets
What it is
This War of Mine is a 2014 survival game from Polish developer 11 bit studios, inspired by the 1992–96 Siege of Sarajevo and other accounts of civilians in war. Instead of soldiers, you manage a small group of ordinary people sheltering in a ruined, besieged city: by day you build and ration, by night you scavenge, deciding whether to trade with, help, or steal from other survivors.
Where to find it
PC (Steam, GOG), macOS, Linux; PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Nintendo Switch; iOS and Android.
Before you start
Heads up: War violence, starvation and despair.
