11 Bit Studios, the developer of This War of Mine, launched a DLC intended to help the War Child organization. The money will be used to aid around 350 children suffering in war torn Syria.

In its blog, the developer mentioned the 350 children are either living in Iraq or Jordan after fleeing their country, Syria. The financial aid will help the traumatized children get much needed "psycho social support to recover from trauma."

Through the War Child, they can be put up in "child friendly spaces," receive some informal education and at the same time help pay for the schools that teach them.

There is not much on the DLC but a single street art. Nonetheless, the response of gamers has been a positive one.

The fund raising campaign ended last April 3 but 11 Bit Studios promised they'll continue to hold charity actions in the future. The developer also included some infographic details on the street art DLC.

This War of Mine is a game that emphasizes the plight of civilians not the soldiers in times of war. It's basically a game about people desperately trying to survive in a war torn country. 

The game is presented partly in life-SIM and partly in 2D.  Players will need to scavenge, trade or even steal to get food, medicine and other vital materials needed for survival.

This game does not present war as a fantasy where players can kill tons of enemies and accumulate various items but as a grim reality that forces players to choose between morals or starvation.

The game is not a happy one and can be quite depressing to play. No matter which character you use, they all end up starving and depressed until death claims them. 

For civilians, there is no glory in war -- only unremitting horror.
