The player starts off with one to four survivors whose actions the player can affect. The player can also build a radio inside their shelter, which will give useful information such as weather warnings, updates on the city’s economy and news of the ongoing war effort to help the player plan right shelter upgrades and scavenging missions. During their excursions, the player-controlled survivors can meet other NPC survivors of the war, who they can choose to help with gifts of food or medicine, or rob and kill. It is the player’s responsibility to keep up their characters’ health, hunger and mood levels until the declaration of a ceasefire, which occurs after a randomized duration.ĭuring the daytime, hostile snipers will prevent the survivors from venturing outside, thereby offering the player time to craft tools from gathered materials, trade, upgrade the shelter, cook food and heal the survivors.Īt night, the player is given the opportunity to venture out and scavenge nearby areas for valuable resources for their everyday survival. Most of the characters under the player’s control have no military background or any kind of survival experience, and will need constant intervention by the player to stay alive. The main goal of the game is to survive the war with the tools and materials the player can gather with the characters they control. In this war strategy game, the player controls a group of civilians or survivors in a shelter in the war-torn fictional city. The dilemma though remains the same – how far will you go, to protect the ones you care about?
