User Reviews
There are 3 different campaings being sold seperately on the Steam Store. Father's Promise, The Last Broadcast and Fading Embers. If you want to purchase them seperately you can OR you can buy the Season Pass which gives you all 3 campaings for a cheaper price.
+Gives you 3 extra campaings which can be bought seperately as well.
+You get them for a lil cheaper if you buy the Season Pass. Buying them all seperately costs a lil bit more.
That is literally all the Season Pass gives you. So its pretty good, getting 3 campaings for a cheaper price is nice but how are the campaings themselves? Well those reviews are uhh in progress lets say. I own the Season Pass and I have the campaings all bought seperately as well so I'll just go to their respective, seperate DLC store pages and write the reviews there rather then including them here. When will I get to doing that? Only God knows. But the Season Pass is good for what it contains, 3 campaings that can be bought seperately as well.
War Told Through Three Voices
"This War of Mine: Stories – Season Pass" is a trio of narrative-driven expansions that shift the focus from mere survival to personal tragedy and moral dilemmas. Each episode — Father’s Promise, The Last Broadcast, and Fading Embers — is a standalone story set in the same grim world, but each offers a unique emotional lens. This isn’t content for those chasing fun — it’s for players who want to feel something deep, raw, and lasting.
Three Stories, Three Emotional Gut Punches
Each episode delivers a self-contained narrative with distinct mechanics and tone:
Father’s Promise is a touching tale of a father trying to protect his daughter during a brutal siege.
The Last Broadcast puts you in the shoes of Malik, a radio operator deciding whether telling the truth is worth the lives it may cost.
Fading Embers explores cultural legacy in war, asking if saving art is worth more than saving lives.
What unites them is their emotional weight. There are no right answers — only choices you carry with you long after the game ends.
[hr][/hr]
Fresh Mechanics with Familiar Weight
The core gameplay stays true to the original, but each episode adds systems that match its theme: caring for a child, managing information, preserving culture. It’s no longer just about food or shelter — it’s about principles. Sometimes a book is more important than a bandage, depending on what (or who) you value.
The limitations are intentional, forcing you to rethink your priorities and live with your compromises.
[hr][/hr]
Characters That Feel Real
Each story introduces new protagonists who feel deeply human. Adam from Father’s Promise, Malik and Esme from The Last Broadcast, and Anja from Fading Embers aren’t action heroes — they’re flawed, scared, and burdened by loss.
Their skills are unique, often emotional or passive rather than combat-focused. That’s the point. This isn’t a war you win with strength — you endure it with compassion and guilt.
[hr][/hr]
Emotional Stakes Over Action
Each episode plays more like a war-time drama than a survival sim. It's not about if you'll survive, but how you'll survive.
In Fading Embers, you may have to choose between rescuing civilians and saving historical art — there’s no victory, just different forms of sacrifice.
Even the smallest acts — a cup of tea, a quiet conversation — carry immense emotional weight.
[hr][/hr]
Visuals and Sound Design
The hand-drawn, gritty aesthetic returns and fits perfectly. New environments and narrative scenes keep things fresh. Music is minimal but striking — each note feels deliberate, each silence earned.

Final Thoughts – A New Standard for War Storytelling
"This War of Mine: Stories – Season Pass" doesn’t just expand the game — it deepens its soul. These are mature, resonant stories that confront you with impossible choices and emotional consequences. For players who value narrative over action, and reflection over reward, this is some of the most powerful content ever made in a war-themed game.
Final Score: 9.1/10
Nice just completed my Collection of this game. You get 2 new stories in this pass. So get it on sale. The stories are good
The season pass gives you access to three new Stories DLC for This War of Mine
Go for it
I would love to play a survival game if it has a concept like This War of Mine, here we will feel restless, empty and the feelings of someone who experiences when war strikes. And also appreciation for the Developer who has made DLC for charity purposes.
