THIS WAR OF MINE
The war is over, and the research continues.
During the hostilities, as we retrieved and incinerated the corpses of the Gast Walkers, we had the opportunity to search through many locations that were previously unavailable to us. We found a great many Late Oil Humanity games, and I will be introducing you to them in the months and years ahead.
This transmission, my first in a few years, will cover a game called “This War of Mine”. What better way to resume our studies after this brutal period than with a game that attempts to explain the punishing effects of war? Here is a game that puts its player, or players, in control of the destiny of a group of survivors in a city under siege. Perhaps it is a game that might illuminate us to the plight of the many units stranded in those cities overwhelmed by the Gast Walkers’ uprising.
