Yes, I imagine if I played it the game would be utter misery... which is why this video is so wonderful. @lanipator.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsU5...

It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

unlabelledView post →I've had this game on my wishlist for some time it's made by the same studio that did This War of Mine and the Frostpunk games, which I really enjoyed! I'm going to spend my evening finally diving into this one. The concept seems really interesting and unique Happy Saturday all
unlabelledView post →It's a damn shame, I remember years ago when I first started playing on PC and they posted on Reddit going "Hey, our game This War of Mine is out and here is a link to The Pirate Bay if you can't afford to buy it" and it made me go and buy a copy to support the devs and now seeing they do this shi.
unlabelledView post →I've loved what @11bitstudios.bsky.social has been doing for a long time. I've played a LOT of This War of Mine, Frostpunk 1 & 2, and The Invicible (which they published). This one feels like they took everything they'd learned and applied it to a sci-fi context. They made a game for me. It's kind!
unlabelledView post →This War of Mine is a very good game about surviving in a war-torn city under siege and it absolutely does not manage to avoid this trap. I ended up with all the food and a perfectly comfortable house with four roommates.
unlabelledView post →Awaken Realms were the reason i first backed a game on kickstarter. This War of Mine. Capitalism in a nutshell is how that success from creating something unique and interesting has led them down the path to automated factory line junk, reprints with plastic and AI art. Sad, but feels inevitable
unlabelledView post →I grew up playing RPGs, so i fuckin loved game stories from jump. But I never got “systems as story” until I played Papers Please, This War of Mine, and The Witness in grad school Just had to broaden the ole horizons!
unlabelledView post →If you enjoyed the survival game This War of Mine and like zombie games, I'd recommend trying the Steam demo for Into The Dead Our Darkest Days Also, it says it's unsupported on Steam Deck, but it actually works perfectly 👌🏻

unlabelledView post →This War of Mine is a masterpiece. I made it my game of the year in 2014. That's what makes this so disappointing. It's not some shovelware company.
unlabelledView post →Good morning after so many June game showcases posts. Started playing This War of Mine and had multiple crashes on NS2 until I discovered it is not compatible with it yet. 🫠 Bought it on Stream sale now. Finished one more game and two anime which I will mention soon. Some silly me pics below! 😆

unlabelledView post →I've mentioned the demo for this game a couple of times. It's basically like This War of Mine meets zombies set in the 80s I don't often get early access stuff anymore since I prefer to wait for a full release, but this will be an exception. They killed it with the trailer and their own song too
unlabelledView post →If you make a game with solid vibes, a post-apocalyptic setting, base management & community permadeath, all wrapped around a This War of Mine feel, you got my attention. I don't do early access so I'm not checking it out yet, but I'll definitely grab Into the Dead once 1.0 is out.
unlabelledView post →Random shoutout time! I know I gushed about this game on the other app but sorry folks, I need to do it here too! This War of Mine won't be for everyone. But its incredible art style, grim war-torn apocalyptic setting, addictive loop and difficult choices make it such a unique, compelling game.
unlabelledView post →[Game] This one I think I will say I finished it. I did see credits in one playthrough... I am talking about This War of Mine which was another game from the 12 Challenge. Yes, I am still working on that! 😁 It was recommended by @datvivar.bsky.social and it is a very intense game, maybe too real.

unlabelledView post →This War Of Mine. Not the most thematically fun game on the planet, but I pull this one out at least a couple of times a year due to it's excellent solo narrative. Easy to run but punishingly difficult - I've only ever won this once. #boardgames #boardgamesky
unlabelledView post →I think I needed this break, a very short game, narrative-focused since This War of Mine was not compatible with NS2 and I had started playing it on Steam, but already made so many bad decisions. 😭 Also, after the Sony physical gaming news, it helped me feel more light and less sad.
unlabelledView post →Earthborne Rangers is an excellent one. Spirit Island - one turn from the land being overrun, a spirit generates enough fear to send the invaders packing - one of the finest experiences of the soul of a board game. This War of Mine and Black Orchestra are two more.

unlabelledView post →As if Frostpunk is not depressing enough.. 😢 This War of Mine is a board game adaptation of the video game inspired by the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war, focusing on the civilian experience of war. ☠️ #boredollie #boardgames #boardgaming #boardgamegeek #thiswarofminetheboardgame

unlabelledView post →a game about the famine that treats the sensitive subject with the care it deserves is possible, like the board game version of This War of Mine we discussed in another thread as an example of a careful approach to the topic of genocide, but it's not the one using fake "oirish" accents in ads
unlabelledView post →Took many years and a lot of coming back to and abandoning this game inbetween, but finally. It is done. It's been an honour, This War of Mine. Sorry your creators couldn't make a proper gd sequel to Frostpunk.
unlabelledView post →This War of Mine, if that's not cheating. or Twilight Struggle for being less of a game and more a "this is what the Cold War was like" simulator oh, John Company, for the reasons @tombrewster.bsky.social has laid out in great detail
unlabelledView post →This War of Mine is the most hopelessly depressing game I have ever played. Brilliant, but took me weeks to get over it!
unlabelledView post →This War of Mine, one of my favorite board games. I'm often a bit hesitant to get this one to the table because it is so miserable and can be heartbreakingly sad. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →You are not a soldier in This War of Mine; instead you are a group of terrified civilians trying to stay alive in a city under military siege - the game highlights the kind of horrible decisions people have to make in these situations
unlabelledView post →I think the single best game for generating a sobering and lasting feeling of how disempowering war can be is This War of Mine.

unlabelledView post →I wasn't 100% sure about this game because I didn't like This War Of Mine, but The Alters is GOOD. It's nothing like This War Of Mine at all.
unlabelledView post →I wonder if I could survive a game of This War Of Mine.
unlabelledView post →Every time I think about buying canned food for my Apocalypse Supplies, I think of the can-opening noise from the v. depressing game This War of Mine. One game I couldn't find food and my last survivor was so hungry and lonely and hopeless that he hanged himself 😬 11bitstudios.com/games/this-w...

unlabelledView post →Aside, I was playing This War of Mine when Russia started to siege Mariupol. I had to stop playing the game. It was impossible for me to divorce the game from reality. It was physically making me sick to play.

unlabelledView post →4 of us played a game of This War of Mine the Board Game. This was a rough game. We lost when all our characters perished. I really like the narrative aspect of this one. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →This game reminds me of This War of Mine, its sad that great games like these were often inspired by or based on tragedies happening irl tho 😢
unlabelledView post →this game is like This War of Mine and Frostpunk had a baby that grew up to be a visual novel
unlabelledView post →Basically, if a game threatens me with starvation and suffering, I am having a good time. The Long Dark. Frostpunk. This War of Mine. Pathologic 2.... etc. I don't know exactly why I am like this...
unlabelledView post →Oh, and This War of Mine. I feel like that might be like, one of the best examples, especially once they introduced actual children to the game.
unlabelledView post →No. 5 is This War of Mine. I remember this getting great reviews back in the day and was psyched to play it once the game got cheap enough, but in that time inbetween I guess I shifted to wanting media that wasn't so bleak (not you Pathologic). Maybe I'll give it a try some day.
unlabelledView post →Love This War of Mine, one of my favourite Indies! I actually really like every game that studio releases. bsky.app/profile/danv...

unlabelledView post →I would second this entry. This War of Mine is something different. With expansions game gets even more serious by introducing kids, pets etc.
unlabelledView post →The game This War of Mine has my entire mental attention.
unlabelledView post →This War of Mine (it's a board game too). I stumbled across this years ago not sure when and why I started playing it. It's a war game but differs from many war-themed games by focusing on the civilian experience of war rather than front-line combat. Emotional stuff; a survival-themed strategy game.
