How the time flies! This War of Mine celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. So far it has sold over 9 million copies worldwide, yet were sure that even more people will receive its powerful message during upcoming days. Thats because, until January 29th, youll be able to play This War of Mine for free on Steam!
On the same occasion, weve also decided to update the game's menu. The newsfeed youll now find there has been designed to better stay in touch with you. This new feature is subtle and aesthetically restrained so rest assured that its contents will be informative and will not include any banners or brazen marketing messaging.
This anniversary also gives us a great opportunity to highlight the game that all devoted fans of This War of Mine should keep their eyes 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.

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.

The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.
Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.
This War of Mine:
- Inspired by real-life events
- Control your survivors and manage your shelter
- Craft weapons, alcohol, beds or stoves – anything that helps you survive
- Make decisions - an often unforgiving and emotionally difficult experience
- Randomized world and characters every time you start a new game
- Charcoal-stylized aesthetics to complement the game's theme

This War of Mine might be the war game we need.Gamespot
I was intrigued by This War of Mine's attempts to portray the consequences of war in a way that games have largely ignored in the past. The fact that the psychological and emotional challenges of living under such horrifying conditions are something you have to consider as you struggle gives me added hope that it might treat its hefty and important subject matter with the gravity and complexity that it deserves.Game Informer
