Forget Celebrations Charity DLC Release Date and Vinyl Announcement

Hello everyone,

Ten years ago, we released This War Of Mine - a game we hoped would shed light on the devastating realities of war. A decade later, its somber message feels more urgent than ever.

While we cannot celebrate amidst ongoing conflicts, staying silent feels equally wrong.

That's why, on the exact anniversary of the game, we've introduced Charity DLC: #ForgetCelebrations. We are now ready to announce that it will launch on December 11th on Steam for $2.99.

All proceeds will support Liberty Ukraine Foundation, Amnesty International, War Child, and Indie Games Poland. We invite everyone to join us in making a difference.
