This War of Mine

 
Frostpunk dev's decade-old strategy hit suddenly has 132% more playersJan 29, 2024 - PCGamesNThere can only be two possible reasons for gamers to flood back to a game that was released ten years ago: either it's an incredible game, or it's very, very cheap. In the case of This War of Mine, both of these are true, as the visceral survival game just shot up in popularity thanks to a free play promotion over the weekend. Read the rest of the story...

This War of Mine is not. Inspired by conflicts such as the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War in the '90s, you control a small group of civilians doing their best to stay alive under extreme circumstances. If you've never experienced its punishing brand of survival, you can now try it as a free game on Steam through this weekend, with the ability to buy it at a huge discount if you like it.

This War of Mine celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. So far it has sold over 9 million copies worldwide, yet we’re sure that even more people will receive its powerful message during upcoming days. That’s because, until January 29th, you’ll be able to play This War of Mine for free on Steam! On the same occasion, we’ve also decided to update the game's menu. The newsfeed you’ll now find there has been designed to better stay in touch with you. This new feature is subtle and aesthetically restrained so rest assured that its contents will be informative and will not include any banners or brazen marketing messaging. This anniversary also gives us a great opportunity to highlight the game that all devoted fans of This War of Mine should keep their eyes on. The Alters is a title developed by a team that consists of many former This War of Mine creators and as such is in many ways a spiritual successor to this cult game. While the setting is totally different, taking you to a distant planet instead of a war-torn city, the game aims to ask as many important questions. Just like in This War of Mine, The Alters’ main protagonist faces impossible odds and must discover how far he is willing to go in order to save his life. Stranded on an inhospitable planet, Jan must create alternative versions of himself to survive on board a mobile base. These “Alters” are more than just new sets of skills. Each one of them is a human being, a genetic alteration of Jan Dolski with emotions, fears, and memories. Getting along with them is a struggle in itself for our hero, a struggle he cannot avoid as impending doom is approaching with each second. It’s this form of emotional management, combined with the management of the base space itself that fans of This War of Mine will find both familiar and satisfying. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1601570/The_Alters/?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=regular&utm_content=TWOMxAlters Don’t wait, wishlist The Alters on Steam!

Last Train Home, launched just last week on Steam, is one such tale - putting you in charge of a small group of soldiers desperately trying to get home in the wake of the Great War. Now, if you want to pick it up for yourself, you can get one of the most hard-hitting war stories, the excellent This War is Mine, as essentially a free game alongside it.

INDIKA is a unique, narrative-driven adventure set in a parallel 19th-century Russia. Watch the Announcement Trailer and Statement from the developers to learn about the game and how Russia’s unjust invasion of Ukraine affected the working relationship between Odd Meter and 11 bit studios. In INDIKA, players assume the role of the titular nun, Indika, embarking on a mind-bending journey to explore the duality of good and evil and the understanding that nothing is absolute. At its core, INDIKA is a third-person perspective adventure game, blending exploration with environmental puzzles and a touch of platforming. However, steeped in themes of sin, sorrow, and moral dilemmas, INDIKA transcends traditional gaming, resembling an art-house film that challenges societal norms rather than offering simple amusement.
