Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves ahead. I'm I'm host Rob Zakeney, joined tonight by

Three Moves Ed founder, Troy Goodfellow. Hello. And we're also joined by our friend

PC Gamer's own, Fraser Brown. I almost have freelance writer, but it's been ages since you've been

a freelancer. It's been like three years, four years, three years. Yeah, it's been a while.

Anyway, you know what life is like at this age, where it's like, oh, yeah, Fraser just started a PC gamer.

But Troy, that's a very crude shorthand.

Seed survivals, yeah, it's something like this war of mine is a little bit of survival

group of civilians in a siege in a protected spot, and it's your job to scrounge through

the ruins of the city, avoiding detection for the enemy forces, and gather enough loot and food

and water to not just keep your small party alive, but to keep

the bastion viable, to keep the defender's defense effective by sending them fresh arrows,

repairing their weapons, giving them stuff to repair the walls, and keeping them fed and

watered. This is a game that is about scrounging and scavenging. It is about time management and

small party management, very, very small. And it is a game that I think is, I like more in concept than an execution, but I still

think there's something of value here.

Yeah, it's got that compelling loop that I think a lot of good survival games have.

And it can be a bit of a tricky
