This War of Mine, la guerra dal punto di vista dei civili

[BrunoB]

Il team polacco (minchia quanti ce ne sono, ma a noi che ce ne frega tanto c'abbiamo il Drago d'Oro) 11 bit studios ha annunciato This War of Mine, un gioco in cui si interpreta l'inedito ruolo di un civile all'interno di un conflitto bellico.



A quanto pare il gioco si baserà su un gameplay di tipo survival, quindi di giorno in casa per non stare sotto i cecchini e per craftare le robe che servono, di notte ad esplorare il vicinato per recuperare materiali e risorse, e per il resto del tempo decisioni difficili tipo sacrificare qualcuno per il bene del gruppo o no.

Insomma pare un po' un gioco di zombie, ma senza gli zombie di mezzo, il che potrebbe essere un interessante spunto di discussione ma anche no.

Previsto per il 2014, ecco il teaser video appena rilasciato:

Dalla press release:

In This War of Mine, the focus is shifted away from military operations portrayed in most games. Instead, it is a dark survival game where players control a group of civilians trying to stay alive in a besieged city. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, offering players time to craft, trade, upgrade their shelter, feed and cure their people. At night they must scavenge nearby areas in search for food, medicines, weapons and other useful items.

This War of Mine was inspired by real-life events and delivers a message. "This can happen in your city, in your country," Michal Drozdowski, lead designer, said. "While designing a new game, we came across an article that described how one man survived in a besieged city. We learned about his hardships and the horror of that experience. We decided to work around this idea and make something real, something that moves people and make them think for a second. It's about time that games, just like any other art form, start talking about important things."

In TWoM players have to make life-and-death decisions based on their conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them in order to prevail; there are no good or bad decisions during war. There's only survival.
