This War of Mine: Stories – Fading Embers Trailer (Linux, Mac, Windows PC)
Lead Artist of Fading Embers, Tomasz Kisilewicz, “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. So do 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.”
