In addition to the big reveal, you can try the. At least that’s the thought that flashed through my head when I found myself barking, “work, damn you!” to the people on my computer monitor. Frostpunk 2 is the first project to be revealed from the three in-house games that are currently being developed at the Warsaw-based company. In that sense, 11 bit studios’ games could be classified as clever engines for recreational stress. Eustress can occur when one feels a bit overwhelmed by a task but pursues it anyway with an eye toward a larger goal. Here, the notion of eustress or “good stress” is helpful to think about.

Like its predecessor, “Frostpunk” is a game built around resource management systems that inspire moral and ethical trade-offs - should you allocate extra food rations to the sick to help them recover faster or hoard what you have as a future safeguard? Both titles highlight the fallacy that people play video games only to relax. Actually, I should have sensed that things would get inexorably worse since “Frostpunk” is the latest creation of 11 bit studios, the Warsaw-based video game development company responsible for “ This War of Mine,” a moving game about shepherding a tiny flock of civilians through the depravations of war.
