Today’s game is This War of Mine. It appeared in my library at some point so it must have either been free or i got it through a bundle. It’s a really good game from what i played. Mainly what makes me say this is stopping by this house.
The game tells you the people there might be hostile. I didn’t want to kill anyone but i ran into someone, panicked, and hit them with my shovel. I felt really bad after because I took a life on the prospect they might be a threat. What made me feel worse though was someone saw the corpse and mourned it.
So basically, it made me feel Human emotions after i acted on impulse and then made me experience human grief. After that the character started mourning too, so in a way it bonded me too the character because they were probably going through what i was.
The game also does a great job of showing how shitty war is. It’s not applicable too one specific conflict (or not one i could name), which i appreciate. In a way it made me think to. One of the characters said something along the lines of “I never thought war would come”. And it made me think. I won’t get too much into the details but it gets you thinking that war can just happen like that. Sometimes you feel untouchable, and then it’s at your doorstep.
I also appreciate it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s people who seem to be good who will trade with you. I like there seems to be a lot of human interaction in this game that’s good. One thing i hate is when games make good human interaction rare. It makes me feel a new kind of faith in things when i feel i can trust my fellow humans (even if they are digital fakes)
I really like this game though. It got me thinking in a philosophical way i haven’t in a bit. And made me feel human emotions for fake characters. Like the guy above wanted food but i didn’t have any. i felt so bad. I think for now i’ll bite more into it later but i really liked it. I for sure want to come back.
This game is really good, but I’ve tried to get into it a couple of times. It’s pretty brutal, and I never got very far before quitting. I should have another go.

This game has been on my backlog for years too but somehow I have never been in the mood to play it. One day…
Start when you’re tired and bored. Its a good atmosphere for it. Then it’ll suddenly be a few hours later.
Reminds me of that pc flash game The Last Stand: Union City
I played a few of those back in the day. Good times.
That’s a great game
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this one. Maybe I should give it a priority bump on the wishlist.
