There doesn't seem to be a section for discussing video games so I suppose this area is the most appropriate location.

I recently purchased "This War of Mine", a video game produced by the Polish studio 11 Bits. It's available on the Steam server for about $20. The premise of this game is that a small group of survivors are trapped inside a besieged Eastern European city and must scavenge, create, steal or barter for for basic food and supplies over a period lasting up to 1 1/2 months. The game can be played with different sets of survivors, each of whom brings different skills to the group.

This game IS NOT a prepping training guide. In fact, some of the game play, such as people starving to death after going five days without food propagates dangerous mis-information. The graphics, although beautifully drab to match the mood of the game, are old-fashioned 2D and may not be appreciated by all. Their appears to be a bit of socialist bias to the game as it's supposedly ok to steal from a rich person's house but not anyone else's.

Nevertheless, This War of Mine is a challenging game that prepper types will probably appreciate.

Very depressing game. Want a survival game with style? "The Long Dark" is the best one out there.

My only complaint is there should be a speed up time button. Not just end day button. Game takes to long to play/ideal waiting time.

Good average person realistic survival game 4 out of 5. Worth the 5 bucks I paid.
