From the start the game wants you to take it with some seriousness by presenting the conflict from the civilians perspective and grounding it in reality(based from the siege of Sarajevo), but all fall flat because the game give you zero to no background to the war and why both the rebels and the military make such hideous acts like killing civilians, bombing schools and hospitals or being hostile to the all that moves. The character are a problem too, since they lack any kind of deep and are only know by a few telephatic messages about their past and how they feel about certain events that are presented to the player has we progress, there is a lack of interactiong among the survivors, you never see them trying to comfort another survivor that is sad or depress, help when one is sick or injured or even fight because they have conflicting personalities or views on the situation; the only "interaction" that you have are remarks that are in given their "Bio" and are extradiegetic. At last is the gameplay, the survival elements are very arcade, making the tone and message of the game pretentious, events can happen during the day at your base in fixed hours, between 9:00 to 11:00 am, or during scavage which can give you one of two possible scenenarios to some places that you visit, outside of that and some messages that can be found in certain locations, there is no other interaction with the enviroment, which have no weight to the game and could be easily changed for a zombie apocalipse without affecting its "tone", the resource management its simplistic, there is a handfull of crafting materials but the rest is delegated to three of each type, charactes never need to drink water or never get food poisoned for eating raw meat, alcohol is the magic solution to any problem and firearms use the same type of ammo. TL;DR: The game want to be taken seriously but the arcade mechanics affect the way the war and the affected are presented maken it feel pretentious.
