When you start a new game of This War of Mine, you get a short intro such as:
"When the civil war broke out, many people thought it would only last a couple of weeks. It's been years since government military surrounded the rebels in the capital, cutting off all supply lines. The civilian population trapped in the city are suffering from hunger, disease, and shelling.
Katia met both Pavle and Bruno before the war. She used to be a reporter, while Bruno had his own television show. Pavle was the star of the local football team. Katia even interviewed him once. Now they meet in dramatically different circumstances, looking for food and shelter."
or
"How long has this siege tested? It s hard to say when every day is a struggle tor survival. The city is crawling with snipers. Shelling is ordinary business almost every night. Phones don't work, there is a shortage of food and meds, and many people are left homeless.
Bruno and Marko have always been good friends, so when the war broke out they decided to stick together. They met Pavle while scavenging tor supplies. He used to be Pogoren's star football player, now he's just another homeless victim of war, so they teamed up. hoping for the best."
