## About This Content
‘Fading Embers’ is the third installment in This War of Mine: Stories. The
expansion features a narrative-driven scenario that portrays the story of
Anja. Living in a warzone and carrying a heavy burden, Anja wrestles with
herself to answer the question of what is more important – survival of human
legacy or the survival of a man.
The DLC contains new locations in the city of Pogoren and its vicinity, new
shelters people can live in, enhanced locations from the original game, new
playable survivors and citizens of Pogoren. Most importantly, the structure of
‘Fading Embers’ brings new ways to experience narrative along with non-linear
structure leading to multiple endings based on player’s decisions. Since the
main theme orbits around human legacy, new gameplay mechanics introduces
collecting art, deciding on its fate and more.
Lead Artist of Fading Embers, Tomasz Kisilewicz, underlines the new DLC this
way: “The new This War of Mine: Stories episode touches on the subject of
cultural heritage and what it means during the war. Is it worth preserving
even at the darkest times? Or maybe when we’re pushed to our limits, when
death and starvation are omnipresent – we change our perception of art and
culture? And despite the artistic value – paintings, sculptures and rare books
– become mere tools of survival. Just because by destroying them we can
postpone our own demise. Is this cost justifiable? Players will have to face
those dilemmas for themselves.”
