Gerda: A Flame in Winter News

DON’T NOD is happy to be collaborating with 11 bit studios on the Silent Heroes Bundle on Steam, which features both Gerda: A Flame in Winter and This War of Mine in one package. Now players can experience two intense, emotional stories about civilians during wartime at a discounted price. If you already own one of the games – no worries! You can still buy the bundle and get whichever game you’re missing at a lower price.

We’re proud to have Gerda: A Flame in Winter, developed by Bird Island, stand alongside such a classic as This War of Mine to continue our goal of sharing untold civilian stories. Both games offer very different experiences while both exploring the struggles, the resilience, and the undying hope of citizens in conflict areas.

This War of Mine is a critically acclaimed game in which players attempt to keep a group of civilians alive and safe in a besieged city. Gerda: A Flame in Winter is a story-rich RPG-lite that follows a desperate nurse trying to save her husband from the Gestapo.

Lives are on the line in both games and your decisions are critical for yourself and your community. Experience two beautifully written, emotional games in the Silent Heroes Bundle.

In celebration of Gerda: A Flame in Winter’s first anniversary, we are happy to be collaborating with the Danish Refugee Council. We have launched a charity edition of the game’s soundtrack on Steam, the sales of which will help DRC in assisting refugees and the displaced, protecting their rights, and empowering them towards a better future.

All proceeds will go directly to the Danish Refugee Council.

DRC’s mission and values resonate heavily with us at DON’T NOD and Bird Island. We made Gerda: A Flame in Winter because we wanted to shine a light on how war affects the civilians caught in it, and to encourage the sharing of testimonies so that we may learn from history.


You can support the Danish Refugee Council by purchasing the charity soundtrack here on Steam or you can donate to them directly.

Hello everybody,

To celebrate the release of Liva’s Story and the Modstand Bundle, we’re streaming a commentary video here on Steam where you can see gameplay from the Liva's Story DLC for the first time!

Shalev Moran (Lead Designer) and Damir Omic (Writer and Game Designer) from Bird Island take us through a chunk of the DLC as they try to successfully lead Tinglev’s resistance cell as Liva.

You can of course expect some interesting tidbits and anecdotes about what it was like to make the DLC and further insight into the story and characters from those who created it.

This is a pre-recorded stream, but feel free to get in touch with us if you have any comments or feedback:
