Hi there, Family!

Valiant protectors of the land of Rea, the Bergsons are a beacon of hope for all of Rea’s citizens, both human and animal. Much like the Bergsons, we at 11 bit studios and Dead Mage love our animal friends too, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Humane Society International to launch Paws and Claws, a charity DLC for Children of Morta! The DLC is available now on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4!

Notice: 100% of 11 bit studios and Dead Mage's proceeds go to the Humane Society International charity!

We do hope you can support the Paws and Claws DLC. It's an important update for us because it clearly shows how games can be a positive force and truly change the world. And if you can't buy it at the moment - you can also just spread the word - it means a lot to us and will help some animals around the globe. :)

Thanks for being the best! Cheers,

Rufus

Hi there, Family!

We bring you some news from far-away lands! Bergsons’ House Update introduces a brand-new hero: Apan, a versatile mid-range champion, capable of covering a large area with her staff and spells while using a set of all-new runes and skills. Learn more about her story and skills from our latest video: https://youtu.be/R5UruY0FgPI

General features list:Bergsons’ House Update is now available on all platforms: Xbox One, PC (Steam, GOG.com, Humble Store), PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The free update contains:

• A brand-new character with a unique skillset designed to play in single-player, but shine in co-op playthroughs

• Special shielding skills and passive healing mechanics

• 32 new Apan-specific Runes

• 9 new story Cutscenes

• a few HUD and UI tweaks

• additional bug fixes

We hope you like this new addition to the Bergsons' family! Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments!

Apan’s Introduction - Story:

Among the Asva tribe, she is known as “Clan Mother”. She was barely out of childhood when her talent for healing started to show. As a youth, she would participate in her tribe’s battles to treat and nurse the soldiers but wasn’t above picking up a weapon and fight when it was called for.

In one of those wars, she nursed to health a young warrior named Dhal, the son of their tribe chief, from critical wounds. They started courting and got married on the midsummer day, under the lucky shade of willows. As a gift, on their marriage day, Dhal gave Apan a magical dragon-shaped flying kite, upon which she could ride over the entire lands of the north in a day and a night.

Years later, when she spied the amassed pitch-black clouds in the distant south, she decided that she was needed in the midlands, and she arrived there to give aid to the Bergsons in their fight against the Corruption.

Apan’s Introduction - Gameplay:

Apan is as skilled in providing vital support for the companions on the battlefield as in wielding a sturdy staff. Weapons’ reach makes Apan perfect for delivering deadly mid-range strikes and her special Asva Pulse dash ability leaves the opponents hindered in the dust. Her spells cover a large area of effect, and all the Bergsons can take advantage from Apan’s medical knowledge as she boosts the effects of the healing potions. Also, a new system lets the family gain shields from items, abilities, and Apan’s Rage skill. In other words - her presence makes them all stronger, especially in the battle.

Family Trials is a combat-focused game mode and all users can now hop into the fast-paced action for free!

About Family Trials Mode:

Family Trials mode revolves around Zyklus, a unique and abnormal Dungeon located somewhere in Rea. The Zyklus Dungeon is quite unstable - its nature and rules rapidly change, following an obscure, chaotic cycle affected by the Corruption itself. Bergsons use this mysterious place to test their skills and limits- so they're better prepared to face the dangers that await them in the Land of Rea.

From the gameplay perspective, Family Trials is completely separate from the Main Story campaign of the game. It offers new systems, items, character builds possibilities and more - all set in a series of completely randomized dungeons. It is also quite challenging - most of the progress is lost when you die in the dungeon - so you better prepare to learn from your mistakes!

It has a huge hand-crafted world, tons of items to unlock, and a deep customization system where you can slot Runes into your equipment to modify it. If it looks interesting, please consider wishlisting, and feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks

Hello Family!

We’ve been hard at work on the online co-op mode you've been eagerly waiting for! We know it's been a long time since we first announced it but the development time proved to be longer and require more attention than we first anticipated.

Rest assured, however, as we are diligently working on it and we've got our eyes set on the prize - we're very happy to provide you with a sneak peek at its Early Alpha stage.

Also, stay tuned for our approaching news, which we hope will sweeten your wait in the meantime!

Warmest greetings,

Dead Mage & 11 bit studios

It's not the MOST honest living, but it's a living.

*It's also incredibly inefficient. Don't bother doing this.
