This War of Mine: The Little Ones – A Haunting and Heartbreaking Examination of War Through the Eyes of Children
This War of Mine: The Little Ones is a harrowing and thought-provoking game that explores the harsh realities of war from a unique perspective: that of a child. Developed by the Polish studio 11 bit studios, The Little Ones is a standalone expansion to the critically acclaimed This War of Mine, which was released in 2014.
The game is set in a war-torn city, where a group of civilians are struggling to survive amidst the chaos and violence. Players take control of these civilians, who must scavenge for food, water, and medicine, while also trying to protect themselves from enemy soldiers and other threats.
The Little Ones adds a new layer of complexity to the game by introducing children into the mix. Children are more vulnerable than adults, and they require special care and attention. Players must now not only keep their adult survivors alive, but they must also protect the children from harm.
