In 2014 we released This War of Mine, a game that reshaped how we experience storytelling in video games. It offered a haunting perspective on the horrors of war, forcing players to make impossible choices to survive. Now, with The Alters, were taking you on a new, deeply personal survival journey one that shares familiar themes but unfolds in an entirely different setting. How do these two games compare? In This War of Mine, you guided a group of civilians struggling to stay alive in a besieged city. Their survival depended on resource management, tough moral decisions, and the ability to hold together in a world that had fallen apart. In The Alters, you begin your journey alone stranded as the sole survivor of a space expedition gone wrong. To stay alive, you must create a new crew, but not in the way you might expect. Your only option is to create alternate versions of yourself alters each shaped by different life choices and each bringing unique skills to aid your mission. [previewyoutube=a0zw_NHXsb4;full][/previewyoutube] Yet, survival isnt just about skill sets. In This War of Mine, managing your shelter is critical. This time, your home is a mobile base traversing a hostile alien planet, shielding you from its unforgiving environment. Expanding and optimizing this base will be essential, but doing so with multiple versions of yourself, all carrying their own perspectives and baggage, is bound to create tensions you never saw coming. Venturing outside is just as crucial. In This War of Mine, scavenging for resources under the cover of darkness was a necessity. In The Alters, you must leave the safety of your base to extract vital resources. Yet this time, the threats do not come from enemy soldiers. The planet itself is a relentless adversary, with a scorching, radioactive sun creeping ever closer. Time is constantly working against you and every moment matters. Both games demand that you make tough choices. Choices that weigh survival against the needs of those around you. In The Alters, however, those people are all different versions of you. What happens when your greatest challenge isnt just the world outside but the variations of yourself cramped in one base? Survival has never been more personal. Take care, 11 bit studios.

Hello everyone, As 11 bit studios we're known mostly as the developers of This War of Mine and Frostpunk but there are more games we're working on! The Alters is a title developed by a team that consists of many former This War of Mine creators and as such is in many ways a spiritual successor to this cult game. While the setting is totally different, taking you to a distant planet instead of a war-torn city, the game aims to ask as many important questions. Just like in This War of Mine, The Alters main protagonist faces impossible odds and must discover how far he is willing to go in order to save his life. See the latest Gameplay Trailer: [previewyoutube=rtozqa8bPnQ;full][/previewyoutube] Jan Dolski is a simple worker who faces impossible odds. Crash-landing on a distant planet, stranded and alone, he seems trapped with no way out. Jans only hope for survival is to employ additional helping hands on board his mobile base but how? Improvising as he goes, Jan uses the local Rapidium substance to create alternate versions of himself: The Alters. Play The Alters Demo and see for yourself what it's like to be Jan(s). Right now, until June 17th you can play The Alters demo during Steam Next Fest. Give it a try: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1601570/The_Alters/

[previewyoutube=Xt1VEgUxTMQ;full][/previewyoutube] Stranded on an inhospitable planet, Jan must create alternative versions of himself to survive on board a mobile base. These Alters are more than just new sets of skills. Each one of them is a human being, a genetic alteration of Jan Dolski with emotions, fears, and memories. Getting along with them is a struggle in itself for our hero, a struggle he cannot avoid as impending doom is approaching with each second. Its this form of emotional management, combined with the management of the base space itself that fans of This War of Mine will find both familiar and satisfying. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1601570/The_Alters/?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=regular&utm_content=TWOMxAlters Dont wait, wishlist The Alters on Steam!

Hello, Everyone! This November marks the 6th Anniversary of a title that helped us make our mark on the gaming market. This War of Mine delivered a grim new perspective for war-themed games, and after all this time, remains unique and delivers a strong message, previously unheard of in the industry. Thank you for supporting us along the way - it means the world to us! Today, we have some exciting news for people who haven't tried This War of Mine yet. We made the game free to play during this weekend! So, you're more than welcome to check it out - it will remain free until Monday, November 16th. If you like what you see - it's also a perfect moment to get the game and its DLCs - we've launched some discounts to accompany the free weekend!
On top of that, This War of Mine: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch gets two remaining Stories episodes that were previously available on PC. Those scenarios - The Last Broadcast and Fading Embers - are more story-oriented than the base game. Both touch on complicated dilemmas, as players step into the shoes of a lone radio-operator exploring the role of truth in a time of despair, and a young girl that must decide between the survival of a man or his cultural heritage. Watch the Nintendo Switch Stories update trailer here: https://youtu.be/dArGoAmNiuU This War of Mine: Complete Edition - containing the base game with expansions and three Stories episodes - is available now on Steam and the Nintendo eShop with a solid discount that lasts until Nov. 16th on PC and Nov. 30th on Nintendo Switch.

Dear This War of Mine Community, our game marks its fifth year on the market this November. Thats a quite achievement and celebration we dont want to omit. So today - as a sincere thank you letter to our long-time supportive community - we release the crowning version of the game called This War of Mine: Final Cut. We wanted to put the last touch to this phenomenon. The phenomenon, which made us who we are today as a team, equally in terms of creative fearlessness and business direction, and helped us pave our further way. Fantastic support from the gaming community was a huge part of that success, so it was without any doubt that this update must be free. We think of the Final Cut as a closing episode to the one-of-a-kind series This War of Mine has been. It will remain precious to our hearts and I dont know what ideas the future will bring but Final Cut is final by no means. The creative minds in our studio, who were with the game up to this point, started to pursue new challenges. So we're excited about what's coming. - says Przemyslaw Marsza, art director at 11 bit studios. Watch This War of Mine: Final Cut's launch trailer here: https://youtu.be/SJAdkY1soh4 This War of Mine: Final Cut is a free content update to the Steam version of the game adding a new character, new classic scenario, and more quests and events on the locations known from Stories episode. Maps from Stories DLC packs are transferred to the original game and were not stopping there. Final Cut brings graphics overhaul with 4K UI adjustments, remastered versions of all the classic levels and 21:9 aspect ratio support. On top of that, those who want to hit-up the notes of nostalgia can play This War of Mine in its plain, vanilla version straight outta the year 2014. Whats worth mentioning is that all major bugs will be still fixed and This War of Mine will be supported by our technical and engine teams.

A detailed list of changes and additions:

Major changes and new content:

• One new classic scenario
• All locations from TWoM Stories added to the original game

Children of Morta sets its story in a distant land but copes with themes closer to our daily lives than one would expect. Its a tale of simple emotions that we all know and value more than we sometimes dare to admit: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, and the loss and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. Children of Morta is not a story about saving the universe. Its a story about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is being devoured by darkness. Have a taste of the atmosphere with the launch trailer! [previewyoutube=OqSD3aZc5BU;full][/previewyoutube] Now dive into the world of Children of Morta!

Hi there, everyone!

We are super proud to announce that This War of Mine: Stories - Fading Embers IS OUT!

Fading Embers is the third installment in This War of Mine: Stories. It 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.

Watch Fading Embers launch trailer:

https://youtu.be/hcSbCbMukyA 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."

This War of Mine: Stories - Fading Embers (ep. 3) main features:

1. Theme and story:

• tackle the challenge of preserving human heritage in a time of war
• discover the story of Vyseni people and their culture
• face dilemmas never before explored in This War Of Mine

These branches were necessary to help address the overarching question of what has the bigger value things made by men that outlast life or the life of a man itself.

Hi there, Community! Exciting stuff! Recently, ArsTechnica released an episode of War Stories series - and this one is really important for us, because it brings up the topic of This War of Mine's development process. Aleksander Kauch, our lead game programmer for This War of Mine, goes behind the scenes of the game's development and explains how we have turned a management sim into a visceral experience about civilians at war. You can watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/FNrCAWVKVQ0

"This War of Mine is a game defined by its cultural rootsit is a Slavic game, created by people from Central Europe who grew up hearing stories of Nazi occupation from their grandparents. It lacks most of the hallmarks of more stereotypically "Western" storiesthere isn't a happy ending or even a particularly neat resolution. It is not a game designed to give you a quick dopamine hit of joy or to tell a complex tale of good and evil. Instead, it is a game designed to make you feel somethingto evoke emotions and then to force the player to confront and contemplate those emotions."

Fellow Gamers!

Every day we are getting closer to the reveal of the next chapter in This War of Mine: Stories.

Before that happens were thrilled to tell you where were going with it. However, you know how we are, we do not tend to spoil too much but we can say the new Story is going to introduce brand new mechanics, probably the biggest change in classic This War of Mine experience. This game speaks distinctly through its gameplay so adding something new vastly enriches the way you can discover it. And again, like two previous expansions, it is going to have a strong original plot driving the entire story - but theres still a bit too early to tell you what the exact theme is. Yet, we want to make a big bang and shake This War of Mine universe - the game is 4 years old, after all! Hence, trust us, the main theme is very powerful.
Heres Tomasz, Lead Artist behind the expansion, working on a new location. You need to know not only new mechanics are on their way, but new locations, unique shelter and unfamiliar people (civilians and soldiers) to meet, too. Were very excited to bring those additions to our loyal This War of Mine community - and we hope you are delighted to hear about them as well.

We are proud to report that our hit game, This War of Mine has recently hit the major milestone of 4.5 million units sold over its lifetime.

The indie hit about the harrowing life of civilians in a besieged city during times of war has performed successfully on all platforms (PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android), and can be attributed as the big boost that helped put 11 bit studios to the forefront of indie publishers on the scene. Starting with a single unit sold on Christmas Island, the game's community is widely global with players from coast to coast on every continent! Named by the New York Times as a game that lets you safely explore wretched realities of the human condition, and described as a nightmare you shouldn't miss, This War of Mine was also picked as one of the games of the year by The Guardian, Die Welt, El Mundo and many other mainstream media when it was released in 2014. The games successes dont stop there with This War of Mine winning awards at the Independent Games Festival, the SXSW Cultural Innovation Award, Games For Change and over 100 other awards. Dedicated to paying it forward, we have also donated $500,000 to the charity War Child through sales of the This War of Mine DLC.
Not content to sit back on our heels, we are now offering a new standalone story-driven expansion, This War of Mine: Stories - Father's Promise on both iOS and Android for only $1.99. Grab it here or here! Thank you for being with us on this amazing journey!

Hi there, everyone!

It is about time that we update you with current progress on the next story in This War of Mine: Stories DLC.

The first and most important thing is: everything is going amazingly well! We are very happy with the storyline, locations and characters so far. And while we're keeping the topic of the third episode still hidden (there will be more updates later this year), we also felt that we have to share some work-in-progress stuff and give you a glimpse of how the development process looks like. Let's begin.
Meet Jacek. In real life, Jacek is the art producer for Frostpunk, our another game that you probably know (and if not - here a link). As you may have heard, all soldiers and civilians in This War of Mine have their physical appearance based on ourselves, our friends, family members and colleagues. We've been doing it on purpose, to make characters as believable and lifelike as possible. Not some anonymous 3d models, bought from an asset store, or shiny Hollywood-like models, but real people. Bald, skinny, chubby - just like ourselves. And one of the characters in the upcoming story is going to "inherit" his appearance from Jacek. Please note we're not saying if he's going to be a playable civilian, or a non-playable side-character. You'll get to know it later.
On the photo above, you can see Olaf, working hard. He's our 3d artist - and at the moment he is creating a digital sculpture of Jacek. Later, this model will be implemented in the game itself, using our Liquid Engine (it is the same engine that Frostpunk uses, btw!). Remember that a model with so many details may not be visible for you in-game - however, for us: the more detailed the source, the better and easier it is to create a moody, great-looking experience in This War of Mine universe. Naturally, more characters are being created... and just to tease you - yes, new locations are in the works, too! Some of them already look stunning and we hope to share some visuals with you pretty soon. In the meantime, stay tuned for more updates about the third episode of This War of Mine: Stories! https://store.steampowered.com/app/282070/This_War_of_Mine/

More than 4 300 children received help thanks to 11 bit studios and War Child UK charity cooperation.

On November 14th, 2014 the indie smash hit This War of Mine had its premiere and that date has become special for at least one more reason. On that day, 11 bit studios joined forces with War Child, a British charity organization dedicated to helping children affected by conflict all around the world. Together, 11 bit studios and War Child created charity DLC which added war-themed works of world-famous graffiti artists to the game. Players could buy the DLC for a set price and 100% of the net income was donated to the charity. Today, more than four years after launching the initiative, we can demonstrate what has been achieved with this cooperation.

Weve prepared a special video to tell everyone about it. You can watch it here https://youtu.be/17ojWP--0fs

Since the launch on November 14th, more than $500,000 has been donated to the cause. This money helped to support War Child deliver its programmes across countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo and Yemen:

• 3 Temporary Learning Spaces were established where 260 children were able to carry on with their education and exams to complete their school year
• Place 26 unaccompanied children with foster families in Bambari, Central African Republic
• In Iraq provide summer schooling to 457 students
• In Afghanistan - Support 840 children aged four to six to access Early Childhood and Care Development in Kabul and Herat
• Expand our child helpline in Democratic Republic of Congo, which received 14,557 calls in 2017 and 2,215 children were referred to specialized child protection organizations
• Fund a new fundraising arm at War Child dedicated to working with gamers, which has raised over $2.5 million to date

None of this would be possible, without the help of the players. We would like to thank you all. If you want to support War Child UK, you can do it directly at www.warchild.co.uk or by buying This War of Mine Charity DLC on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/348040/This_War_of_Mine__War_Child_Charity_DLC/

Hello there! We've got some exciting news for you!

We've teamed up with Meg Jayanth, Writer of '80 Days', to deliver a new story to the game. Episode 2: The Last Broadcast - is coming soon!

https://youtu.be/DnI5j8fTFL4 It took more than initially expected but were 11 bit studios - we iterate games hundreds of times to make sure what you are served is an utterly thrilling story. Thats the case with the new one.
Everything began after the first episode, Fathers Promise, when 11 bit studios joined forces with exceptionally talented game writer Meg Jayanth, most known for 80 Days (IGF winner for Excellence in Narrative), to create a new story for This War of Mine. Based on a scenario by Meg, we present to you The Last Broadcast, the newest installment to This War of Mine: Stories. The new episode will launch on November 14, 2018, to mark the 4th anniversary of the original release of the game. Over the course of development, this story grew much larger in scope when compared to Fathers Promise.
Tomasz Kisilewicz, Project Lead, says: [quote]

Surely it took us a while, but the focus was on delivering a deeply emotional story. The leading theme circles around the price of telling the truth. In this addition, were introducing a lot of new content with different endings, new gameplay mechanics, new moral dilemmas about telling the truth that influence the world, new playable civilians, a new shelter people can live in, and new sites of the city of Pogoren to visit. It had to be at least as good as the other stories you can find in This War of Mine. For this reason, after we received the scenario from Meg we iterated on the episode an enormous amount of times afterward. We had to make sure that in the end, the community would have a story they expect from us and we couldnt let them down. And now that The Last Broadcast is releasing, Id like to say enjoy The Last Broadcast, but perhaps the better wording is actually experience The Last Broadcast.

[/quote] This new episode will be priced at $3.99 USD. Due to the significant growth of this DLC, the season pass will change from its price of $4.99 to $6.99 on November 14, 2018. We strongly encourage players to act now if they want to get this great content before the price increase! Everyone who has purchased the season pass to date will receive all of the content without any additional cost.

Hi there! Good news, everyone! If you own This War of Mine on Steam you can get Frostpunk - our brand new society survival game - with a 10% discount! https://store.steampowered.com/app/323190/Frostpunk/ The offer stands until May 1st, 2018.

What is Frostpunk?

It’s a society survival game that asks what people are capable of when pushed to the brink of extinction. In an entirely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. The city’s ruler has to manage both the citizens and the infrastructure they live in. The leader’s tactical skills face challenges that will frequently question morality and the basic foundations of what we consider organized society. Optimization and resource management often clash with empathy and thoughtful decision-making. While city and society management will consume most of the ruler’s time, at some point exploration of the outside world is necessary to understand its history and present state. What decisions will you make to ensure the survival of your society? What will you do when pushed to the limit? And... ...who will you become in the process? https://youtu.be/qqEpSOFDXGA

We released This War of Mine two years ago, and the response immediately turned our world as a studio upside down.

That success has given our company amazing opportunities to grow and explore new projects, such as Frostpunk, and that’s only possible because of the people who believed in This War of Mine in the first place. That’s why we are releasing the Anniversary Edition; a complete retail package with new characters, new locations to explore, and most importantly, a whole new ending. This content is also available completely free to owners of the base game.

Watch the Anniversary Edition DLC trailer:

https://youtu.be/lcqpFB8lU7M New features:

• 3 brand new locations
• new civilians (NPCs)
• a whole new ending scenario
• a new achievement to get

--- But there is more! Thanks to your awesome feedback we were able to find, replicate and fix some common issues! Major fixes:

• War Child DLC achievements Note: Helping children and Note: Street Art should work now
• Day 42 was repeating in some playthroughs - this should no longer happen

Minor fixes:

• fixed some minor font issues
• fixed Polish font diacritical marks
• few smaller graphical glitches - fixed!

If any issues persist - please visit this thread. You can find many useful solutions there as well as a contact email to our support team. Thank you, 11 bit studios

This War of Mine experience on mobile devices is now broadened with The Little Ones expansion.

The newly delivered expansion explores the hardships of wartime survival as seen from an entirely new perspective―that of a child. This DLC puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a besieged city, struggling with basic necessities. TWoM: The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of enduring war, but also on how even in times of conflict, kids are still kids: they laugh, cry, play, and see the world differently. In addition to thinking about survival, you'll have to summon your inner child to understand how to protect the little ones. Their youth, and their future, are in your hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqHOEB1BOsA Features: • Experience the biggest expansion to This War of Mine • Protect innocent children • Craft toys, play with kids, and be the caretaker they need • Meet new adult civilians in scenarios with children This War of Mine: The Little Ones expansion is available as in-app purchase on Google Play and Appstore for 3.99 EUR/USD.

We are ready to announce our next big project: Frostpunk.

What is it about? What kind of game is it? Well, this is still a secret - but you can unveil a part of this mystery thanks to our first teaser of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHxTtSatvQM What society is capable of when pushed to the limits? In a completely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. Society in its current form becomes ineffective and it has to change in order to survive. What does this change mean? What is culture when morality stands in the way of existence? Think about how survival may, in the end, leave us different beings. Whether worse, better, stronger, weaker or, last but not least, more or less humane – that is debatable. Pre-order will be available at frostpunk.gamesrepublic.com. To stay up to date with Frostpunk, follow us on:

• Official Frostpunk website
• Frostpunk Facebook page
• Frostpunk Twitter
• 11 bit studios Instagram

All we can say now is that all This War of Mine fans should be excited about Frostpunk. :) More info soon!

Show us your love and give this campaign the last, amazing push! Click HERE to learn more. --- Kickstarter has once again proven that it’s model of bringing tabletop games to life, breaths some freshness into the industry and sits very well with projects that aim to do things a bit differently than what we’re used to!
Thanks to the input provided by the community, the game almost doubled in terms of the offered content. The team behind the Kickstarter campaign listened to the what their fans were asking and created a system of special social medial voting, this way fans were able to directly express their needs and desires and practically shaped the game’s Core Box by adding the following expansions: - Tactics expansion, with more advanced combat mechanics - Sewers expansion, offering an entirely new way of exploration - Orphans of War, introducing children to the game - Farmers, focusing on the cultural differences in the game’s setting Backers of this Kickstarter project also helped with the concept for a 13th character for the game – after sorting out hundreds of ideas, the community has chosen Emira – a homeless woman living on the streets even before the war pictured in the game happened. Visit Kickstarter campaign page to learn more. --- We want to thank you for the amazing support - so here are some free keys for This War of Mine for Android:
