Katherine Mangu-Ward on Soon-To-Be-Released Game This War of Mine

In most
war games, players are out for blood. But a soon-to-be-released
game from 11 Bit Studios turns that shoot ’em up convention on its

By day, your group of civilians hides from snipers. By night, you
sneak out for building supplies and medicine, or contrive ways to
capture rainwater for drinking. Katherine Mangu-Ward writes that
the game, which will be available on mobile, Mac, PC, and Linux, is
about the difficult moral choices people make every day in the face
of violence-induced scarcity.
