'This War of Mine' shows the civilians' side of the story during war, watch the video game trailer here

This War of Mine is easily one of the most intriguing video games of recent years. We're all used to games based around wars or warfare-type situations, but gamers are usually playing as soldiers. In this new video game from Polish indie game developers 11 Bit Studios, gamers take on the role of the civilians trying to survive a war-torn life.

Check out the first teaser trailer for This War of Mine, featuring some incredible juxtaposed imagery of soldiers versus the civilians dealing with the war they find themselves in:

In a new interview with Kotaku, This War of Mine designer Pawel Miechowski spoke about the concept behind This War of Mine and how the game came together.

"It's going to be a really difficult game because surviving war is a difficult experience," said Miechowski at a demonstration of the game earlier this year.

"There are hundreds of possibilities you can do to make your life a little bit better in this horrible situation of war," Miechowski said. " You can find a collector and get rainwater. You can filter rainwater to make it clear water. If you trade something for yeast and sugar, you will be able to create alcohol, but you will need wood and glass and metal to create a moonshine still. And if you are able create moonshine, you will be able to distill it to make better alcohol."
