Meanwhile, This War of Mine has received its first update. So now we're very happy to see so many supportive words from the community, especially if you consider that This War of Mine is a serious experience.' You never know how eventually a game will do when released. 'But that doesn't mean we were sure This War of Mine would be commercially and critically acclaimed. And we had the feeling we were making this experience in a right way. And so you could see it in Papers, Please or Gods Will Be Watching - these are games that tackle really well with serious topics through their fantastic gameplay.

'Games are all around us since decades so the creators and community perceive them as natural/popular form of storytelling. 'Of course we're happy with commercial success, but most of all we are happy with great feedback from gamers and from reviewers,' senior writer Pawel Miechowski told Eurogamer. Unlike many other war games, This War of Mine tasks you with babysitting survivors of an unnamed war.Īnother interesting statistic released by 11 Bit today: less than 11 per cent of players managed to see the end of war. The game has been in or around Steam's top sellers list since it launched on 14th November. It took 11 Bit Studios' This War of Mine, described by Eurogamer's Martin Robinson as 'The Sims by way of 90s Sarajevo', just two days of sales to cover the cost of development.
