What is this extraordinary RPG about?

Children of Morta is a story-driven action RPG game about an unusual family of heroes. Lead the Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Corruption. Children of Morta sets its story in a distant land but copes with themes closer to our daily lives than one would expect. It’s a tale of simple emotions that we all know and value more than we sometimes dare to admit: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, and the loss and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. Children of Morta is not a story about saving the universe. It’s a story about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is being devoured by darkness.

Have a taste of the atmosphere with the launch trailer!

Hi there, everyone!



Fading Embers is the third installment in This War of Mine: Stories. It portrays the story of Anja. Living in a warzone and carrying a heavy burden, Anja wrestles with herself to answer the question of what is more important - survival of human legacy or the survival of a man.

The DLC contains new locations in the city of Pogoren and its vicinity, new shelters people can live in, enhanced locations from the original game, new playable survivors and citizens of Pogoren. Most importantly, the structure of 'Fading Embers' brings new ways to experience narrative along with non-linear structure leading to multiple endings based on player's decisions. Since the main theme orbits around human legacy, new gameplay mechanics introduces collecting art, deciding on its fate and more.

Lead Artist of Fading Embers, Tomasz Kisilewicz, underlines the new DLC this way: "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 - 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."

1. Theme and story:

• tackle the challenge of preserving human heritage in a time of war
  
• discover the story of Vyseni people and their culture
  
• face dilemmas never before explored in This War Of Mine
  

2. New mechanics:

• New hub area to keep track of your progress
  
• Collection Management mechanics including:

• Deciding on the fate of art pieces
  

3. Locations:

• Two new shelters
  
• Overhauled 9 locations from the original game
  

4. Characters:

Tomasz Kisilewicz, lead artist behind Fading Embers, underlines the non-linear approach to gameplay as well as the main theme:

"The latest This War of Mine story focuses on choices that can lead to multiple endings. These branches were necessary to help address the overarching question of what has the bigger value — things made by men that outlast life or the life of a man itself. When you think about it, humans stand against the destructive power of war not only to save themselves but also to save what entire generations have created."



Fading Embers will launch on Steam on Aug 6th, 2019 for $3.99. The new DLC is part of the Season Pass to This War of Mine: Stories available here:
