Nice addition
I really liked this DLC, maybe most from the three (or four if you cound Little Ones). It takes about 25 days, its original and you make tough decisions.

Lots of very tough decisions
"Fading Embers" is its own little story about a woman called Anja (and companions) and how they must weigh up what's more important: Saving works of art and other significant cultural items, or surviving? I played this after "Father's Promise" and this is much more elaborate. Multiple endings, and plenty of difficult decisions that test how much you're willing to set aside your morals for survival, or whether heritage is more important than helping those in need, etc. It's significantly longer than FP and I like the party characters, following This War of Mine's trend for having very "real feeling" characters with interesting backstories. The characters will judge your decisions so there are rarely any "perfect" choices - someone will always disapprove. This makes the decision making process a lot harder and I had several moments of going "Arrrghh!" because I just couldn't decide. It also adds some new mechanics like talking with NPCs and having the party members talk amongst themselves, which adds a little extra to the characters. A good addition, much better than FP, in my opinion.

Learned something about myself
At first, the story punched me in the gut. I'm an immense lover of culture; history, art, stories, you name it. And from the get go, the game forced me to decide how I want to deal with the cold, with winter and the need for fuel. Surprsingly fast my appreciation of art stepped back, and let both my will to survive and help others step forward. I had less and less scruple about burning a painting to help a neighbour or a group of orphans, to trade in cultural goods for the survival of others and so on. I didn't regret it. Ultimately, human lives are more important than goods, even if they have sentimental or cultural value. Gladly I still managed to save most of the goods to the end due to good ressource management.
