In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.
The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.
Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.
-Inspired by real-life events
-Control your survivors and manage your shelter
-Craft weapons, alcohol, beds or stoves – anything that helps you survive
-Make decisions - an often unforgiving and emotionally difficult experience
-Randomized world and characters every time you start a new game
-Charcoal-stylized aesthetics to complement the game's theme

Atmospheric, tense, engaging. Fantastic game, excellent price. If you enjoy strategy you should already own this.

I gave my passport scan and edited the passport number etc. and they accepted it as proof.

That's why it seems so fishy to me... they don't seem to actually care about the info on the Id provided which beg ls the question, Why bother? just seems insane to me and there's no way I'm trusting a company like that. way to many fake passports and driver licences out there and I don't want to end up as one

Sounds interesting but a quick web search indicates that it might not run cleanly on Windows 10.
No mention is made of Windows 10 on the Steam Page.
I have already bought a game that my Windows 10 update has killed so think people should be aware that there might be a _real_ price for that XBox app in 10!
Not voting either way but - Cavete Emptor.

Runs fine on Windows 10 for me. The Steam store page doesn't mention Windows 10 because Windows 10 wasn't out when the game was made so it's not part of the minimum or recommended specification - but it's only just over a year old so must have been tested extensively with 7, 8 and 8.1, and as 10 is essentially the same architecture, if it works with those, it will work with 10. I just did a quick web search as well and only got 3 results - one from someone who experienced a crash using the Win 10 technical preview in 2014, so hardly relevant, and two from people on the Steam forums who were experiencing problems after updating to 10 immediately after it was released, which is probably due to the upgrade process rather than the operating system as a whole - had a few issues after updating myself; a clean install works much better. Also, the game is still being updated - and has had four major updates since Windows 10 was released - so I'm sure any issues have been resolved.

Well you are not trusting the company if you edit out the passport number like the other guy are you?
If you are not brainless with the information you give out to others you will be fine.
Never give sensitive information to anyone, no matter how "legit" or well known their company is.
They asked me for photo ID, so I gave them my passport with just my face and name showing. They also ask to have it on a paper with the letters IG on it.
They ask this once, after that you can buy as much **** you want from them and its literally instant.
