This War of Mine is a game developed and published by a Polish company 11 Bit Studios, also known for their post-apocalyptic society survival game Frostpunk.<\/p>\n
Released in 2014, the game is focused on everyday people and their suffering during the war times. It explores effects that horrors of war have on civilians and their lives.<\/p>\n
The game is praised for its unique premise, immersive atmosphere, and overall great execution of the original idea. It is a great indie experience people are still gladly going back to, even six years after its release.<\/p>\n
And now, 11 Bit Studios is receiving another big recognition for their brilliant work. <\/p>\n Starting from the next school year, This War of Mine will be officially included in the educational system of Poland, on a national level as school reading.<\/p>\n This is officially confirmed by the country’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki.<\/p>\n “Of course, games are already being used in education for teaching maths, chemistry, and developing cognitive abilities, but I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a game being officially included in the educational system on a national level as school reading,” said 11 bit Studios CEO Grzegorz Miechowski in a statement.<\/p>\n Along with @PremierRP<\/a> and the Ministry of Education we’ve just achieved a milestone step in recognizing video games as a work of culture! @ThisWarOfMine<\/a> becomes a recommended reading for high school students in the Polish education system!#ThisWarOfMine<\/a> | #GameDev<\/a> | #VideoGames<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kGHWg7Ri5L<\/a><\/p>\n — 11 bit studios (@11bitstudios) June 18, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
