Abandoning a few planks of wood to make space in the inventory, I gleefully (or as gleefully as is possible in This War of Mine) grab the desperately needed supplies. Then, having found a way into the undisturbed basement, he stumbles across a small medical room with bandages and medication. Initially, Marco finds only scraps around the periphery of the structure. An armed-gang patrols the isles, forcing me to carefully limit Marco’s search to the quieter areas. Arriving in the darkened world, it becomes instantly clear that Marco is not the only person raiding the complex.

I select to raid the supermarket in the hope of improving Marco's chances of finding the vital supplies – but the game has other plans. Areas contain different rewards and hazards, so you must carefully weight up the trade off between what is needed and the danger involved – especially as you can only visit one area a night. Before even setting out the stakes are high because, with the supplies already exhausted, it is imperative that food and first aid be found.Įach time night arrives, new districts open for you to visit and raid for supplies. I chose to send Marco to scavenge, while the injured Pavle stands guard and the sick Bruno is allowed to sleep. The slow pace remains, but the mundane trudge of the day-to-day is replaced by thrillingly tense stealth as I set my team to scavenge different locations for supplies. Night time is a wholly different experience. Think of it as The Sims 4: Apocalypse, were such an expansion not so tasteless. It looks like hurried scribblings in a diary, a lost record of the war, providing a disconcertingly haunting view of the world.Ĭlicking around the various task icons in the 2D environment, I set the trio to work making beds, constructing tools to speed up their work, and patching holes in the decimated building – all the while keeping a close eye on my resources. It gives you time to think and reflect on the horror of the world around you.

It is slow and methodical, emulating how time drags when you have to perform a hateful task. I must ignore their exhaustion and set them to work, performing various tasks to make their shelter habitable. During the day, it provides protection from the conflict raging outside, while at night it serves as an operations base for foraging runs into the world. Īs my first day begins, a short description explains that Pavle is injured, Bruno is sick, and all three men are tired of the war. This is to be their home, their only refuge from the war. My team is made up of three good men – Marco, Pavle, and Bruno – who are taking refuge in a bombed out house, that is filled with rubble and has been emptied of all comforts by looters.

Every game starts by placing you in control of a random group of survivors.
