This War of Mine joins the list of Polish student readings

Few video games manage to deal with a delicate issue such as war with the same effectiveness as This War of Mine, a survival game developed by 11 Bit Studios.

Rather than as a fully armed soldier, the players are lowered into those of the survivors in a city under siege, which deliberately recalls the Sarajevo set on fire in the early 90s.

The value of the experience was also recognized by the Polish government, which quest Today, in the person of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, he announced that from the 2020/2021 academic year This War of Mine will become part of the list of recommended readings by students of sociology, ethics, philosophy and history. The decision is the result of a campaign that started as early as 2018.

"Obviously, games are already used in education to teach math, chemistry and to develop cognitive skills., But I think we never had to dealing with a game included as school reading in a nationwide education system, "commented 11-bit Studios CEO Grzegorz Miechowski. "This can prove to be a big step forward for all artists who create games all over the world."

Due to the content treated and the consequent classification received in Poland, This War of Mine will be available only to students aged 18 and over. Interested parties may request a free copy starting from the month of September. If you don't know the game, we recommend you read our review of This War of Mine lightly.
