About Not My War
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.
Made by 24-Pack Studios, in U-tad, University of Technology, Arts and Design.
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.Made by 24-Pack Studios, in U-tad, University of Technology, Arts and Design.

[h1] Action adventure game where you play as a mouse with top down view. Avoid being detected by cameras and robots. Use flash to stun them and get pass through security. Overall I guess it's ok. A bit boring to be honest. [/h1]8 found this helpful
Took me abt 2 hrs to get a 100%, I did it the hard way but you can use the assists all the way and your still gonna get all the achievements. Personally I enjoyed it, the concept is sick aswell as the design and flow of the game. Props to the devs on this one.1 found this helpful
I know that for someone who likes story games it will be a banger, but I prefer to play sandbox free world or shooting games so it won't be much for people like me. :(1 found this helpful
Not My War is a stealth survival adventure from 24-Pack Studios that builds its identity around vulnerability, exploration, and quiet tension rather than overwhelming action. Set in a world devastated by conflict and technological collapse, the game places players into an unfamiliar perspective where survival depends not on power or firepower, but on caution, patience, and intelligent decision-making. It creates an atmosphere shaped by loneliness and danger, delivering a smaller-scale experience focused on tension and environmental storytelling. The premise introduces a bleak future where humanity lost control of the machines it created. Long after civilization has fallen, automated war systems continue functioning without purpose, endlessly patrolling ruined landscapes while the remnants of human ambition decay around them. Players assume control of a genetically modified ferret left behind after humanity’s downfall, trapped on an isolated island filled with mechanical threats and abandoned military infrastructure. Escape becomes the central goal, but survival comes first. Unlike games that encourage confrontation, Not My War builds nearly every system around avoidance. Stealth …

[h3]It's a short, sweet, challenging game.[/h3] It is about a ferret shipwrecked in an island where there are more ferrets stuck behind layers of deadly, robo-security machines with no means to escape prior to the main character's arrival. The goal is ultimately to escape the island but you can try to take along the other ferrets with you too. Repairing the ship is the pre-goal to escaping. Materials to repair the ship are needed and these are found all throughout the Island for you to collect. The stealth is a bit challenging but it's certainly possible to sneak past the enemies if you're patient and time and observe enemy patrols properly using the tools at your disposal. While there are no manual saves, there are checkpoint saves and the game does a very good job showing that while playing. Getting detected isn't the end of the world because you can potentially outrun some of the enemies. But unfortunately, I died more times than I expected. And then continued from the previous check point. Music can be disabled, which I did, to take in the immersion of the sneak more naturally. Hence, I recommend turning off music. There are no voices of the NPCs in it but there are written d…
