This game has been made available by the Polish government for education purposes.

This War of Mine is a unique video game about the fate of civilians trying to survive in a city engulfed by an armed conflict. It is characterized by extraordinary realism in depicting the gloomy reality of wars and uncompromising presentation of the morally and physically devastating fight for life. At the same time, interactivity, which is the domain of video games, allows you to look at difficult topics from the perspective of an event participant. This War of Mineprepared with attention to detail. The game is based on the analysis of a number of armed conflicts from the last few decades. Events such as the Warsaw Uprising, Szturm Grozny or the war in Syria were analyzed especially in terms of the fate of the civilian population. The process of creating the game also included research showing the impact of traumatic experiences on the psyche of adults and children. In turn, the eyewitness accounts of the siege of Sarajevo were the main inspiration for the creators.

          What exactly would you like me to substantiate? Modern Polish territory as we know it was often the middle-ground of Germanic / Soviet conflict - often divided as a frontier of contentious crossfire leading up to, and beyond WW1. Poland only became an independent nation in 1918, and most atrocities were committed by or a result of Soviet / Germanic control - and I don't really need to explain what Polish territory was used for thereafter. I'm not here to justify anything committed by anyone, I was merely stating that the Poles know what it is to yearn for refuge in another country. Stop making conflict where there is none.

      Let's not forget how they treated non-white refugees fleeing the same Warzone. This is not intended to discount the hospitality they offered white Ukrainians… But the fact of the matter is there was racism

        every country has its fair share of racists, morons, and run of the mill a-holes

        white or not, war is bad, people needed shelter and got one, that's commendable. I don't think race had anything to do with it, I didn't get this kind of information you seem to have. my Polish friends were volunteers on the border, I never heard stories of wrong treatment of people of any skin colour.

        True. In my travels across many countries and continents, unfortunately, you can find racism in various forms almost anywhere if you want to. Some of the most amazing and welcoming places i've also found to have underbellies of what could only be described as racist if we are to hold each other to the same aspiring standards. We have a long way to go yet as a species.

        Sure, because there’s no agenda with what was publicised in our media. I take it you live in Poland on the border? This sensationalism of black brown vs white needs to stop.

      IIRC the storyline is deliberately vague about the setting to make it feel like it could be anywhere. Not sure it would be improved by reducing the ambiguity.

    I found that the installer is completely in Polish, with no way of changing the installer language.

    And it wouldn't surprise me if the actual game language is completely in Polish.

      This War Of Mine was also a previous free Epic Games giveaway back in late July 2019. Although it was just the original base game and not the later Complete or Final Cut editions.

      • summit on 29/06/2022 - 06:43

        The Final Cut Edition is on Game Pass too. Not sure about PC but definitely on Xbox

        The EGS freebie had some Final Cut content, but limited to the base game itself (so only the DLCs were missing).

          Russia did not fight for Poland.
          They would have split it between Russia and Germany.

          +1

          'Fought for Poland in WW2'…
          You mean when they made a secret pact with the Germans to split all of eastern Europe between them with them getting eastern Poland? and when they invaded Poland two weeks after the German invasion was that also 'fighting for Poland'? Yes Eastern Poland itself was conquered by Poland in the 20s from the Russians and was predominantly Byelorussian and Ukrainian afaik but that just proves further that these two countries never fought for each other but against one another.

            @Ostrk: Russia did the heavy lifting vs the Nazis in WW2. Fact.
            We had losses in the West and fought hard but nothing like the Russians suffered.
            So yes the Russians were extremely anti Nazi and still are and this is the basis of this war that's happening right now.
            The West were the provocateurs for this war, moving further to the East over time and goading the Ukrainians.

            Your tax dollars are literally supporting Ukrainian Nazis for Nato expansionary objectives.

              We had losses in the West and fought hard but nothing like the Russians suffered."

              IMO (with help from Joe) a lot of that was self-inflicted……….which in no way denies the Russian losses nor the importance of the sinkhole that the Easter Front became for the Nazis.

              And remember who started The Great Patriotic War, before that there was happy fence sitting

              Then there's the behaviour on the Pacific Front……….Berlin in '45…. the pause in Poland in '44

            • Ostrk on 29/06/2022 - 17:13

              @trevor99: I never said they didn't? your claim is that because the Soviets almost single handily defeated the Germans and were 'extremely Anti-Nazi' (which wasn't even true since Molotov-Ribbentrop happened) that this somehow is the same as 'fighting for Poland to liberate them'? but you're completely ignoring the fact that the soviets invaded Poland WITH Germany and carved up the country with them in 1939. Stalin had no problem carving up half a continent with Hitler and supplying Germany with precious materials like wheat, oil & chemicals. If he was anti-Nazi then he would have never negotiated a damn thing with the Germans.

              Poland literally ceased to exist as an independent state thanks to the joint invasion in 1939. When the Poles rose up in Warsaw near the end of the war, the soviets stood there and let the Germans decimate them and raze the entire city. How is this fighting for Poland again? Oh right, because at the end of the war the Soviets restored Poland. How kind of them…except that the government was loyal first to Moscow.

              You can thank the soviets for almost single handily defeating the Germans & decimating Japan's war efforts in China thanks to their invasion of Manchuria in 1945 but Eastern Europe was NOT liberated by the Soviets. Instead Poland, the Baltics, Czechoslovakia & Albania turned into communist puppet states despite their people's wishes. These were not enemy countries to the USSR like Germany or Romania and yet they had their freedom ripped away.

                @Ostrk: Thanks, good reply. Stalin was a shocker killing all his generals and other officers before the war to protect himself via his own paranoia. Kind of didn't help when it came to defending the country.

                These situations are complex and usually there are faults on both sides. My point our media paints us black and white rubbish and it translates into the average Joe's simplistic understanding.

                It's easy to see the Russian position of defending themselves with this "de-nazification" action in Ukraine. They took abuse and suffered attacks since the 2014 coup and the Yanks have been ramping it up ever since. There was the so called Minsk agreement signed by Ukraine that the Russians tried for years to enforce and abide by but the West kept ignoring and violating. There is also the issue of the American funded bioweapons labs in Ukraine, where the Russians have since uncovered despicable research. Then there is the child trafficking etc. The Russian position is they are cleaning this up. It appears once Russians have removed the Ukraine Army from a town or "liberated" it, life goes back to normal so we should at least look closely at what they're saying.

    No. No I will not play this game again. The last and only time I did, one of my house hold got sick then died because it was too cold. The other member became depressed when this death occurred then became despondent. There was food right in the next room but he would not move. The next day he hung himself.

    This does not match the American-square-jawed-one-man-army war simulation I am used to playing. This game is FAKE NOOZE!

    Ran the page through Google Translate, and it says this at the bottom:

    The game "This War of Mine" is available only to students and teachers in Poland who want to use the game in Polish language, ethics or social studies lessons. Any further sharing, reselling, commercial use, or posting on file sharing sites is strictly prohibited.

    So it's not really meant for us. Also only in Polish through this offer - can definitely get it in English if you get it elsewhere.

    Amazing game though, and well worth a bit of money to experience. Just be ready for some heavy stuff.
