Playing War Civilians in a Video Game

A new Polish video game aims to make players think about the consequences of violence. This War of Mine is inspired by the real-life siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s and forces players into the ethical dilemmas of war, and also allows them to experience tragedy and the ways humans can support each other during war. Pawel Miechowski of 11 bit studios, the company behind the game, explains more.
