11 Bit Studios' title This War of Mine has broken even in just two days of being on sale, according to Eurogamer. The game has been in Steam's top sellers since it launched on November 14.
"Of course we're happy with commercial success, but most of all we are happy with great feedback from gamers and from reviewers," said senior writer Pawel Miechowski. "Games are all around us since decades so the creators and community perceive them as natural/popular form of storytelling."
"And so you could see it in Papers, Please or Gods Will Be Watching - these are games that tackle really well with serious topics through their fantastic gameplay. And we had the feeling we were making this experience in a right way."
"But that doesn't mean we were sure This War of Mine would be commercially and critically acclaimed. Not at all. You never know how eventually a game will do when released. So now we're very happy to see so many supportive words from the community, especially if you consider that This War of Mine is a serious experience."
Developer 11 Bit Studios released some information about the game. There are more than 2,200 user reviews and 96 percent of them are positive. The game sold the best in Russia, Germany and the UK. The average play session lasts 82 minutes and the average player is between 25 and 34. Also less than 11 percent of player have seen the end of the war.
