War Never Changes

Set in the war-torn country of Vostoria, War Never Changes is an emotionally gripping narrative-driven game that plunges you into the harrowing realities of civilian life amidst an escalating conflict. As the blockade by neighboring Drakovia stretches on, essential supplies run dangerously low, and survival becomes a daily struggle. With cities under constant bombardment, communication blackouts isolating communities, and displacement becoming the new norm, you must navigate the relentless chaos of war to protect your family.

In War Never Changes, every choice carries life-altering consequences. Face intense moral dilemmas, scavenging for vital supplies in a world where food, water, and medicine are scarce. But beware - your decisions not only determine your survival but also the fate of those around you. Find leverage during scavenging missions to increase your chances of success in the game’s challenging encounters, whether it’s a desperate negotiation for resources or a fight for your life.

Will you help others at the cost of your own safety? Can you hold onto your humanity while the world around you crumbles? Explore three rooms in each scavenging section, with only two opportunities to collect items that could be the key to survival in later confrontations. Strengthen your chances of overcoming adversity by making the right choices, but beware - the wrong decision could spell disaster.

Survive. Protect. Endure. War Never Changes asks you to find hope in the darkest of times.

Problem:  Our game addresses the lack of public awareness about the psychological effects of war on survivors, aiming to provide a platform for people to engage with and reflect on these stories.

Audience: The target audience includes young adults and adults interested in understanding the civilian impact of war. A notable example referenced is Poland's decision to include "This War of Mine" in school curricula to teach ethics and social studies.

Rule List:

1. Moral Decision-Making: Each key decision presents players with a chance of success or failure. The probability of success is initially determined by the game.

1. Influencing Success: Players can improve their chances of success by making strategic choices in earlier gameplay. Right decisions made beforehand will enhance the probability of succeeding in later critical moments.

1. Scavenging Mechanics:
2. During scavenging sections, players will have three rooms to explore.
3. Players are granted a limited number of opportunities to search for items within these rooms.
4. Items found during scavenging can offer advantages, improving success chances in future challenges.

1. Scavenged items have impacts:

For certain encounters, such as a physical confrontation:

• The base success rate may be set at 50%.
• Finding a relevant item (e.g., a weapon) during scavenging will raise the success rate to 90%, offering players a tactical advantage in these moments.
