This War of Mine
You lead a group of civilians in a besieged city. By day nobody can go outside, so you craft, cook and look after their hunger, health and mood. By night you send one out to scavenge the ruins, where stealing from or helping others affects the group's morale.
Why play it now
When you want survival with moral weight that shows war from the civilians' side rather than the soldier's.
Who it's for
For players who enjoy managing scarce resources and making hard choices with no good answer.
When not to pick it
If you want something brisk or light: it's bleak, and some reviews criticise it as slow and tedious.
