Sunshine Bay vs This War of Mine
Sunshine Bay
Sunshine Bay is a resort simulation that that puts you in charge of a beautiful tropical paradise where the sun is always bright and shining and the skies are always clear. As the manager, it now falls on you to set up houses so you can attract passengers for your yacht cruises, build docks to house your luxurious yachts and piers to send them on their way to various locations around the world. There are many ways for you to earn the money and resources you need for these yacht trips and to expand your resort business though, including servicing other people's yachts and building commercial buildings.Despite its sunny tropical theme, Sunshine Bay is not your usual farm/city-building simulation and this is evident right from the get-go. The game is a resort simulation through and through, and if you think you'd enjoy playing it, be sure to drop by and give it 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.
