James and Ian discuss the game "This War of Mine," which was developed in partnership with War Child. It is a bleak game designed with the intention to build empathy in its players, having them experience some of the difficulties of wartime through an indie-game lens.

This game dealt with some very difficult subjects, and so with that in mind we think its important to put a trigger warning in place. This game has instances of violence, both physical and sexual in nature. Though sexual violence is not a major topic of this episode, it is briefly mentioned as it comes up in the narrative of the game.

This War of Mine is a bleak and powerful emotional experience. It is tough to play at times, but creates a visceral experience for gamers by shedding some light on what it might be like to survive a modern siege.
