War Hospital, out now on Steam, is about subsisting on the periphery of a war and keeping it firmly off-screen by means…

@alyaza Interesting game, will definitely put it on my wishlist. Seems a bit similar to This War of Mine, where you play as a group of civilians which have to survive as much as possible stuck in a besieged city.

This War of Mine is a good game, but I found it too bleak to keep playing. I am sure that is part of the point, but I usually play games as a form of escapism.

You have to break into the apartment of an elderly couple very early into the game. I remember the man reacting to the break in, defending himself and his wife. His death made me feel so terrible (which is the intent of the game, of course) that I put the game down.

@DdCno1
I broke into their apartment without fighting them. Just hid from them and stole whatever I could. The next day, the news broke out that raids have started and basically nobody was safe anymore, and I kept losing things.

I died fighting someone with fists against a shotgun.

@pbjamm

It seems interesting, but based on the Steam reviews, it’s apparently a buggy mess.

@DdCno1 I see. I haven’t encountered any bugs, but based on my experience, it is rather hard.

Edit: I first thought that this comment was a reply to my comment, lol.

@alyaza

Ooh it sounds like it has great potential, once the bugs are ironed out!
