Hope that what you have will hold you as the days pile up and the weather grows colder and the radio you built from scrap and scavenged parts tells you that there's no end in sight. Or you hide and hope that no one comes to take what's yours. During the day, you perform tasks: You build beds and cook food and clear rubble and try to make the time pass. The way it plays out is as a resource management game, but one with brutal stakes. No, you're just a civilian (three civilians, really), trapped in the ruin of an apartment and trying to survive while the war surrounds you on all sides. It's feels like Sarajevo during the Bosnian conflict, but change the art a little and it could be anywhere because you're not playing as a soldier, some indestructible front-line Rambo with machine guns and hand grenades. It's a war game, based in a city under siege. A make-you-never-watch-the-news-the-same-way-again machine. This War of Mine is a survival simulator, but that's maybe putting it too gently.
