Gerda: A Flame in Winter News

The Gerda: A Flame in Winter – War Child Charity Digital Edition is available now here on Steam to commemorate Day of the Girl, which is a campaign focused on bringing awareness to the issues that girls and young women in war zones face around the world, to advocate strongly for their human rights, and to raise crucial funding to support them.

This new edition of the game contains:

• Gerda: A Flame in Winter (full game)
  
• The original soundtrack composed by Jakob Støvring Hansen
  
• Six exclusive digital paintings of game environments.
  

20% of proceeds of the Gerda: A Flame in Winter – War Child Charity Digital Edition will go directly to War Child.

This partnership is important and a natural step for DON’T NOD and the developers, PortaPlay. Gerda: A Flame in Winter was created to shine a light on one young woman’s experiences in occupied Denmark during World War II. As you may know, the story of Gerda Larsen—our main character—was inspired by a real person, the grandmother of PortaPlay’s CEO and Creative Director, Hans Von Knut Skovfoged. The Gerda: A Flame in Winter – War Child Charity Digital Edition is part of our contribution to War Child’s work in helping civilian children and young people in conflict areas.

You can support War Child by purchasing the Gerda: A Flame in Winter – War Child Charity Digital Edition or you can donate to them directly.

With almost a month to go until the release of Gerda: A Flame in Winter on September 1, we’ve released a gameplay trailer to give you a first look at exploration, choices, and the RPG-lite elements of the game and how those choices—and their direct and indirect consequences—can open different paths to be explored.

The decisions that you will make as Gerda throughout the game will affect the bonds she already has with her community, as well as the relationships she can make or break with members of the resistance and the occupation.

You will use her diary to track her progress and the management of her resources and relationships. Also shown in the diary are her ‘mental energies’, the mental skill points she can gain and lose during conversations and confrontations.

The RPG-lite mechanics are a good way to show that your actions can not only have short-term consequences, but also affect the longer-term course of the story.

Will there be consequences if you, as a nurse, help a person who is suffering even though they may cause suffering to others? Will you find yourself in a pinch later, if you give away precious resources to somebody who needs them?  


Save the date – Gerda: A Flame in Winter releases on September 1, 2022, and you can wishlist it right now so you don’t forget!
