This War of Mine: Stories - Father's Promise

Original This War of Mine, one of the most successful indie titles of the last decade, provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle - that of civilians. Father's Promise is a standalone story-driven tale set in the universe of the original game.

It tells a story of family's struggle to preserve the last pieces of humanity in times of despair and cruelty. Become Adam - a father trying to save his daughter from the horrors of war and escape the besieged city. Follow their steps and discover a story of love, hate and sacrifice - the emotions we all share in the darkest of days.

The Father's Promise features:
- A harrowing storyline based on an audio-drama by famous Polish author, Łukasz Orbitowski
- Emotionally difficult experience - decisions that are often morally ambiguous
- Crafting, cooking, taking care of people - anything that helps to survive
- Locations exclusively made for this standalone expansion
- Remastered and enhanced visuals from the original This War of Mine

Ratings and reviews

Honestly? Kind of lazy compared to the incredidible original game. I get that this is essentially a story mode but there are no other endings except the one everyone gets, which (spolier alert) is always a bad one. No replay value what so ever. I get that they were trying to incorporate PTSD and mental illness that goes along side being in war, but I definitely think there were better ways to do it than a one size fits all ending. Graphics and new locations were cool, though.

Will not load game. Every time it starts up it goes to the main screen and when. I try to start the game it loads for a second and then restarts the app, over and over and over and over. I tried restarting my phone, I looked for updates. Not sure what the problem is but I'm not pleased. Same with the original TWOM w/ The Little Ones expansion, which I only got because I thought it might have been required to function. I guess Motorola and 11 bit don't get along.

I don't typically like giving 5 stars. Even this game has areas that could be improved, but this game still gets it. I love the original, and this one took it to the next level. The addition of a mission with goals, clues, & NPC interactions brought a real sense of urgency. I just finished the father/daughter storyline. As a single father and combat-veteran with a few mental health diagnosis, this one really hit home for me. This game taught me about myself. That's a new experience for me.
