" This War of Mine " breaks the mechanism of the traditional survival game series. In the past, war-themed games were all about fighting with guns, destroying enemies, and defending homeland. However, this game chooses another angle. It is based on the Siege of Sarajevo . The player plays a refugee in the war. Here, your precision shooting skills or strategic vision are no longer considered, but more about the The purpose of human torture is to let players understand the cruelty of war.

The game adopts a sketch style, overall dim tones and music, pulling players from a bloody battlefield of fighting and killing to a ruins of ruins. You can choose not to take other people's things, but it is difficult to let them go. You cannot define yourself as a murderer even if your friends around you survive, because robbing innocent people or killing innocent people will cause sad and depressed psychological changes, which will eventually lead to your friends leaving or more extreme results, when you are short of food. When you may not survive until dawn, you find an old couple living in the room. They have no ability to resist. You can survive by robbing them, but they will starve to death. What choice do you have? When you are in short supply of medicines, your neighbor next door was injured by a shell and needs your help. Should you save him or not? When your companion went out to pick up things and was beaten to death, and the rebel army came to search, should you hand over your dying friend, protect yourself and other companions, or take him and continue to work hard to survive?

This is a game that allows players to play with their own moral values, letting players know that in the game, killing someone will make you feel guilty. It turns out that good people are not so easy to be. When you reach the end of the game, you will get there later. My friends and I were injured and injured, and we didn’t know when the war would end. When we could clear the game, we faced a shortage of supplies. We almost only ate one meal of raw meat or wild vegetables in a day; Treatment, the condition gradually worsens, and you have to defend yourself from other people's attacks at night. When you don't know when the end will come, the long and difficult winter and the war-torn days are far beyond expectations. At the moment when you are ready to give up, Suddenly the war is over!

This may be what this game wants to tell players. The pain of war is increasingly difficult for most modern metropolitan people to realize. The life and death of others are not even as small as one's own. Those who are in the chaos of war Few people remember the lives that left this world. They use their own bloody history to tell the world not to repeat this miserable path.

Finally, the game has a good ending, but it's just hard. Survival does not mean victory. Everything the player does in the game will be recorded by the system. When a survivor is helped to survive to the 45th day, the system will make a final judgment based on the current situation of each survivor. At the same time, everything the player has done during this period will be re-presented in front of the player in a narrative way. Such a summary seems to silently tell the players about the mistakes they have made, and also gives the players a chance to rethink the rights and wrongs of their actions. At that time, was this the only way to do it? Every choice the player makes in the game is subject to moral torture.
