I was drawn to it because it's based on surviving the siege of city I've been living in for the good part of the last decade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sarajevo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Sarajevo) and playing it is just a painful experience that matches what I've been told and read from those that lived through it.
It's been a while since I've last played it, but from what I remember I always ended up in an absolutely inescapable situation regardless of what I tried. If you want to actually feel something while playing a game, 10/10, would recommend.
- alasdair_ 5y agoStrongly agree. A big part of me wanted to find out if the game was ever winnable or even if it ended at all. Then I realized that was kind of the point - the hope that it will end some day and so I avoided finding out if it did or not. I, too, set out with noble aims but eventually was faced with the prospect of stealing from the nice old couple down the street or starving to death. At that point, I stopped playing. I didn't want to know which one I'd choose.
- lstodd 5y agoHm. I managed to "win" it several times, that is to survive to the end without stealing or such stuff. It is hard, but possible.
