About This Game

The island remembers the war. Abandoned trenches. Ruined depots. The skeletal remains of humanity's last stand against the machines they created. Now, only the robots remain, patrolling endlessly through the wasteland. And you—a clever ferret, an experiment designed for a war you never chose—must escape before time runs out. Not My War is a 3D top-down stealth and exploration game where tension never fades. The machines don't sleep. The clock doesn't stop.

Stealth

Navigate deadly patrols using wits and gadgets. Blind sensors with flashlight bursts. Obscure vision with smoke. Create distractions with thrown objects. Hide in burrows when all else fails. Every encounter is a puzzle of sight lines, sound, and split-second decisions.

Day-Night Cycle

Time is your greatest enemy. The day-night cycle changes patrols and danger levels, forcing you to adapt your strategy. At night, visibility decreases and threats intensify as the clock ticks toward your deadline.

Exploration and Narrative

The island is littered with debris from the war. Search ruins for boat parts, gadgets, and resources. Find other survivors—forgotten experiments like you—and learn their stories through dialogue and environmental storytelling. Explore abandoned military installations to piece together how humanity fell and why you were left behind.

Scavenging and Survival

Every item scavenged brings escape closer, but navigating this desolate land while avoiding patrols is treacherous. Aid them with what they need. This war was never yours. But freedom is.
