This War of Mine celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. So far it has sold over 9 million copies worldwide, yet we’re sure that even more people will receive its powerful message during upcoming days. **That’s because, until January 29th, you’ll be able to play This War of Mine for free on Steam!** On the same occasion, we’ve also decided to update the game's menu. **The newsfeed you’ll 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. **It’s 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 **Don’t wait, wishlist The Alters on Steam!** Take care, 11 bit studios ### A minor update. 29 April 2022. - Date: 2022-04-29 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/282070/view/3183492026706860622 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/this-war-of-mine/releases/steam-3183492026706860622 Hello, A new minor update is out now: - Fixed: Main Menu graffiti button being covered at 2k/4k resolutions - Fixed: Full refresh rate impossible to apply at certain resolutions - Additional minor bug fixes and improvements Have a good weekend! **EDIT: **We're aware of certain issues on Mac and Linux caused by this update.
