Watching an Innocent Death - This War of Mine #2

in #hive-140217last year

Hello, game lovers? It's been 6 days since I've posted in this community because I've been busy with Power Up day and other community events. Thank you so much for the support on my previous post. I've been toying with the idea of turning this game into a Let's Play series, and with the feedback I've been getting, I've finalized it. I'm here with part 2 of the series, and I'll try to share an episode every few days from now on. Let's see how long our characters will survive.

Day 4


Last time I looted on night 3 and I told you about a great loot. Here is that perfect loot I made. As you can see, I found food, medicine, bandages, canned food and a broken helmet. If I have enough materials and I can upgrade the metal workshop, I can fix the helmet. This will be very useful for both attacking and defending.


While I was listening to the radio I heard a report that the resources in the city are very low and if it continues like this people will become aggressive and scour the city for useful things. It's too bad because we haven't fully fortified our bunker yet, I hope we won't get many attacks.


I have also started to build a trap, I wish I had the chance to hunt chickens, but in this case the rats are more likely to get caught in the trap and we have to make use of their meat. I don't know if I would do it myself, but in a real war people might have to.


Someone called Agata said that a shell had hit a building down the street and people were trapped under the rubble. He asked for our help to pull them out of the rubble. Of course I could not refuse.


When you make an important decision that affects your shelter, the characters in it react. For example, Roman was happy that we were helping people and thought we were doing the right thing, but they won't always think we are doing the right thing. You will see this in time.


On the evening of the 4th night I decided to go to the Bombed Brewery because there wasn't much left in the market that I wanted and as we go to new places, other places are unlocked and we can go there. It says there is danger there. So I have to be really careful, so I took a crowbar, and if I was going looting with someone other than Roman I would have taken a knife, but Roman can kill any enemy with one hit.


I saw two bandits beating a woman there. The poor woman had been caught trying to steal from them and they beat her to death. Unfortunately I couldn't save her because I didn't have a weapon with me and I couldn't fight alone against two people with only a crowbar. So I just waited...


I searched around a bit and tried to find something useful. I found a shotgun that had been broken with the food. I will definitely come back here again, not only for food, water and supplies. I will avenge that innocent woman!

Day 5


Bruno thinks we were right not to help her last night. If we had helped her, Roman would have been hurt too and I agree with him. By the way, Arica arrived after helping our neighbors.


Bingo! We found our first meat in the trap. I hope we can keep this luck going because right now we have no other source of food.


Today on the radio they said that many stray animals have disappeared and they advised us to be careful when buying meat. Luckily we are already eating something that looks like stray animals lol.


My barter buddy came again and that always makes me happy :P I made a lot of great trades with him and I got things I needed like materials, parts for weapons, etc. In return I gave him things like alcohol and diamonds and some extra stuff I had. It was profitable for both of us.


With the materials I traded, I developed my metal workshop because that's what I needed the most. I need to start repairing weapons as soon as possible. There is revenge to be taken and I must protect my sanctuary.


I immediately repaired the helmet and the shotgun, the reasons for which I have already given above.


I decided to go to the brewery again because I need some ammunition. I can't kill two people with just two bullets.


Unfortunately those bastards were waiting for me there and as soon as I got inside they tried to attack me. When one of them shouted shoot him I thought they had a gun and I had to run away. So on the 5th night I couldn't loot anything.

Day 6


On the 6th day we woke up to bad news: they attacked our shelter. Fortunately, they couldn't hurt us much and they couldn't steal anything, but we have to be more careful next time, otherwise some of us might get hurt and we might lose a lot of stuff.


As the days go by, we learn more about the characters' backgrounds and what they were doing before the war. He came to the city of Pogoren for a quiet time after his military service, but as you can see, the quiet didn't last long. I can't wait to see more of his story.


And on the sixth day nothing else happened. All day long I waited like this for someone to come or for something to happen, but no. It was a quiet day. There was nothing new on the radio.


At night I decided to go to school to loot with Arica unlike usual because I need ammunition and different things before I go to the brewery.


There I found a sad letter, a boy wrote to his mother, he wrote that a girl was killed by a sniper, but she didn't do anything to the sniper and she was a very sweet girl. He said he wanted to see his parents as soon as possible. This letter doesn't seem to have reached its destination, but I hope at least the child reached his parents...


The school is really huge so the first night there was mostly exploration. But I'm sure I'll find many more wonderful things here the next night. Especially a lot of wood that I couldn't take with me. I'm sure I'll need them at some point.

Let's end the second part here. It was full of excitement, but it was also sad. We witnessed the death of a woman who was a thief but ultimately did it out of desperation. I'm looking forward to seeing what we will see in the next chapter. Thank you very much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to share your thoughts about the episode and the game in the comments. Take care and have a great day!

Play More, Live More!

i've played this game about half a dozen times and each time i get reminded of it, i want to play it again. this is one of my all time favorite games just because of how real it feels and invested i get in the characters.

I'm so glad you like this game, man. I think it's an amazing indie game.

Greetings, if you are involved in the plot of the game, I like that, on the other hand you said it in a real war I think you have to resort to any method to feed and survive, there is no hard, I see that you are immersed in the game in an exciting way and I know that intrigues you to know much more as you go forward.

Yeah man in a real war we would try everything to survive. That’s why I’ll do same in the game as well. Thanks for stopping by

The way you described it, you sounded like you witnessed it happen right in front of you, not in a game. Great writing, man. We often take such moments seriously. I had the same goosebump when Trevor tortured a weak man in GTA V that I'm playing, I'm not sure if you remember that part but I guess you read that part.

Yeah brother. I remember your last post from this game. I enjoy going through your post. You make it like we are the part of the game and surviving ourselves 😅

Haha thanks for your nice words man. So I am successful to make you feel the atmosphere.

Yup 😊

The poor woman had been caught trying to steal from them and they beat her to death.

Holy, I've had this game for a few years but I haven't played it yet because it seems so dense. What attracted me the most was that style of gameplay by squares in the shelter, where you expand and upgrade, like Fallout shelter. I didn't know it was also very dark in terms of situations, that gives it a little extra depth haha.

Yeah man this game has an amazing scenario and depth. You should try it for sure. I am curious about what I will see next

This game is a marvel, I've always wanted to play it, but I never could because my PC was from prehistoric times, even so I loved how you develop your experience, as it has its complexity and realism, making you not trust anyone on the outside and managing all your resources to the maximum, what a good post sultan! :D

You can play this game with your old computer mate. It will not be a problem I think. Glad you liked my post

That incident where you had to stand by and watch the old women get beat to death. We all know this to be a game but that is the brutality of war hey. It's something that happens! When those who can help have to stand by and watch the helpless get beaten without being able to do anything at that moment!

Okay enough of that!

The game looks very entertaining actually, like FrostPunk! I like games that have that building up aspect and every choice you make has consequences.

I should try it!

Thanks for the tokens man. Frostpunk and this game made by same company so they are similar about storytelling and atmosphere. You should try it sometime!

many days in that mine can cause me claustrophobia hehehe.

muchos días en esa mina me puede causar claustrofobia jeje

Which mine? There is no mine tho?

Watching that game reminds me of Fallout Shelter, because of the gameplay and survival :D those types of games are great. Greetings.

Yeah it’s kinda similar but has a lot of differences man. You should check it and see

I'll look into it and see how it goes :D a quiet and quick game to pass the time.
