So, the game is based on the events that occurred in Sarajevo in the 90s, when the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina was under siege for almost four years, and its inhabitants fully felt the difficulty of surviving in the modern “stone jungle”. By the way, one of the participants in those events was Emir Tserimovich, a member of the development team This war of mine.
So, the player will have to manage a group of characters – civilians, who find themselves in a dilapidated building without food, water, medicine, weapons, etc. Each character has certain skills (runs fast, knows how to cook, can carry many items, etc.), which means gamers need to correctly distribute tasks. In the course of the game, the heroes also have to contact with other inhabitants of the city – looters, merchants, bandits and good-natured residents. At the same time, developers paid special attention to replayability This war of mine – Each passage begins with a new group of survivors, and secondary characters can behave in a completely different way.

One of the key components of gameplay This war of mine is crafting. Initially, characters have to manually disassemble the rubble in search of building materials, sleep on bare concrete, suffer from hunger and lack of medicines. Gradually filling backpacks with useful objects, the player can make a bed, a heater, tools, weapons, even a moonshine. All this remains to be done during the day, while artillery shellings are booming on the street and snipers are guarding.
At night, one of the characters goes on a sortie and can examine other buildings. You can get hold of useful objects in them, exchange anything with traders, ask for help from other survivors. But you can also run into armed marauders or fall under the rubble of a burning house. The developers call the key feature of the game the adoption of emotionally difficult decisions – for example, sacrifice one character to save others.
Visual and sound design This war of mine most accurately can be described as atmospheric. Gloomy locations and depressing soundtracks very accurately reflect the essence of survival in such harsh conditions.
