Not My War

Not My War is a 3D top-down stealth and exploration game about a clever ferret trying to escape a war-scarred island before time runs out. The ferret is an experiment created for a war it never chose; now humanity is gone and robots patrol the wasteland. You search for the parts and supplies needed to escape while avoiding the machines.

Stealth and patrols

Robots patrol endlessly and do not sleep. You use gadgets and your surroundings to get past them: blind sensors with bursts from a flashlight, obscure vision with smoke, distract robots by throwing objects, or hide in burrows. Each encounter calls for decisions based on sight lines, sound and timing.

Time and danger

The day-night cycle changes patrols and danger levels. At night, visibility decreases and threats intensify as the clock counts down toward your deadline, so you must adapt your approach.

Explore the island

Search the war’s debris and ruins for boat parts, gadgets and resources. Explore abandoned military installations to piece together how humanity fell and why you were left behind. You can also find other survivors, forgotten experiments like you, and learn their stories through dialogue and environmental storytelling.

Scavenge and survive

Every item you scavenge brings escape closer, but moving through the desolate island while avoiding patrols is dangerous. You can aid the other survivors with what they need.
