Where things get dangerous is that other survivors have the same idea, and they’re desperate or angry people themselves, and so are not necessarily friendly. Alternatively you might need munitions for your weapons, and hit up a mechanic to look for some more. You might be running low on food, so you decide to explore a supermarket. Each day, you can send one character on a mission to scout an area of the city. When night falls things get much more dangerous. In the early stages there’s more things to do during theses daylight minutes than can possibly be managed, but after the basic bits of furniture are built and a routine has been established, daylight hours start to become monotonous and dreary… which must be what it’s like to live in a war zone with no power, comforts, work, or anything to do. There, they need to scavenge around for food and medicine, keep their building warm, protect it from raiders and perhaps – just perhaps – build a couple of creature comforts to help provide some morale relief from the horror of it all.ĭuring the day you’ll be directing your survivors to clear away rubble within your home, build furniture, rest, eat, and deal with the occasional visitor to the door. Players take control of a couple of survivors caught in the middle of a warzone. Thematically, this game is a little like the classic film, The Pianist. War is civilians desperately trying to survive as their buildings and world fall down around them. It’s not kill streaks and headshots for fun. It’s not heroic soldiers clashing with an enemy in the name of freedom. It’s an unflinching and emotionally loaded essay on the realities of war. I enjoy the odd shooter and I love strategy games, but, of course, real war isn’t heroic, and even when it’s righteous and soldiers are fighting for a good cause, civilians and innocents invariably get caught up in it all. It really does my heart glad when I see game developers take a more mature look at the impact that war has on people.
