EB's Matt Heywood writes, "While at PAX Prime I met with Pawel Miechowski, who is the game’s Senior Writer, to talk about This War of Mine and the team’s inspirations behind it. It was immediately clear that he and the small 11-Bit team working on the game were emotionally attached to it thanks to the heart wrenching content it contains, which has been crafted based on true life stories from their relatives that lived through the horrors of the World Wars in Poland. By capturing these horrific tales the team was able to focus on what types of choices, living conditions, and struggles civilians face during a war that has brought enemy forces to their doorstep."
This War of Mine is part of the Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art
The Humble Bundle Complete 11 Bit Collection just launched today. It includes nine items including Frostpunk, Moonlighter, Children of Morta, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
In Poland, This War of Mine is being used as a teaching aid by Polish secondary schools, with teachers given a scenario, brochure, and instructions.
Very intriguing take on a war game.
