Another Sight vs This War of Mine
Another Sight
Another Sight is an intriguing, story-driven puzzle/adventure game that has a very Alice-in-the-Wonderland-esque vibe to it. In this game, you play as both Kit and her newfound feline companion, switching between them as you attempt to solve puzzles, unlock the next chapter, and eventually, help Kit escape from the bizarre underground world she fell into. The game features some pretty unique game mechanisms including cooperative play in a single player game, much like Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, as well as the concept of being able to visualize sound and incorporate that into its gameplay.In a nutshell, Another Sight is a brilliant adventure game that not only showcased some pretty unique and innovative game mechanisms, but also a fantastic storyline that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Couple all of that with amazing graphics and realistic sounds, and you’ll get a truly immersive Alice-in-the-Wonderland-like adventure. Interested to give the game a try?

This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
