This War of Mine provides a unique look at war. Instead of being the heroic soldier, you are the victim, forced to make horrific life or death decisions. Every choice you make is morally questionable. For example: Some children come to your door, they ask for medicine for their sick mother. Do you give the kids the medicine? Even though you know, your people may become sick soon, and if they do, will have you have enough supplies to save them? Or do you keep the medicine? Do you let the little children's mother die, and as a result probably them with her, just to save yourself? This is only one of the many choices you will have to make in this game.
As far as gameplay goes, it fairly simple. Think of it as a Sims type game. By this I mean, you have 3 or 4 surviviors, and click on each one to make them do tasks. Such as cooking, sleeping, eating. The game only gets "real" gameplay at night. This is when you have to go to other locations in the city and scavenge for supplies. You click where you want your character to move, but have to silently navigate around, so as to not alert any possible enemies. All this while looting piles of rubble, and stealing from peoples cabinets.
In short, this game is incredibly difficult an depressing, while at the same time, fun, and rewarding if you manage to save the lives of your crew, and others. Get this game, or you will be missing out.
