Genre:
In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle. The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive. Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

This is a charity initiative. All proceeds go to our partners: War Child, Amnesty International, Liberty Ukraine, and Indie Games Poland Foundation. 10 years have passed since the release of This War of Mine and the game’s message still remains poignant. In October 2024, the game was awarded a Special Recognition Award by Amnesty International. Sadly, the same award shows that the world hasn’t become a more peaceful place since the game launched in 2014. So instead of a big celebration, we’ve decided to dedicate this anniversary to doing the right thing. This War of Mine: Forget Celebrations is a DLC with a new story, special items, and, most importantly, a chance to support people in need.
