In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

Civilians, not soldiers, are the focus here. You manage a small group sheltering in a besieged city, scavenging for what they need while hunger, illness, snipers and hostile scavengers threaten them.
The Final Cut edition collects every update and free expansion to date, remasters the classic locations and adds a new scenario with a new character, plus extra quests and locations drawn from the Stories DLC. It is a somber single-player survival game in which choices are rarely clean, aimed at players who want to see war from the civilian side.
