We know you can't wait for the online co-op to be added to Children of Morta! We're working on it along with other updates, worry not. But in the meantime, Steam has launched an awesome functionality called Remote Play Together. It lets you play local multiplayer games with Steam Friends online, EVEN when the game doesn't natively support online play. It's a great solution for those of you who just can't wait for the online co-op! Folks from Valve have prepared an awesome guide for you about Remote Play Together - you can check it out HERE.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/330020/Children_of_Morta/

But there are other co-op and versus games (like Risk of Rain, Gang Beasts, Overcooked, Guacamelee!, Enter the Gungeon, Moon Hunters and more!) on sale, too!

Be sure to check all those discounts here: Remote Play Together Sale!

Have a good one!

Hi there, Family!

After its well-received debuts on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Children of Morta has now made its way to Nintendo Switch!

Children of Morta is a story-driven rogue-lite RPG game focused on a brave family of heroes, the Bergsons. Fighting to protect their homeland and the legendary Mount Morta from an ancient evil, the family’s harrowing journey sees them learn a lot about themselves while facing untold danger at every turn.

Lead the Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Corruption. Will you be able to sacrifice everything to save the ones you care for?

Greetings, Fam!

Children of Morta launched on September 3rd and has covered its cost of development after only a few days on the bestseller lists of online game stores like Steam and GOG.com! It was a long road for us - and after years of hard work and dedication, we could not be more pleased with game's success! Coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch this October 15th, we are looking forward to carrying this success onto consoles. The triumph of Children of Morta proves that strength and perseverance, much like the bonds of the Bergson family, are what it takes to overcome even the mightiest of obstacles. Thank you for being with us every step of the way, you're the best!

On top of that, we have continued our tradition of the “11 facts about” videos by creating a brand-new gameplay trailer explaining every bit of the game under the unsurprising title “11 facts about Children of Morta!”.

• Patch 1.0.6 - focused on fixing Mark's tendency to fall out of the level boundaries while attacking enemies as well as on improving the analog gamepad deadzone.

Hi there, Fam!

A quick update before the weekend! We've managed to fix the Di Vine Machine Achievement. It's not a major change - but we know how important achievements are for some of you out there!

Find all details below. For us, there are no spoilers here - but some of you could consider this description a minor spoiler about an in-game achievement. You have been warned!

For new players:
By collecting first Artifact (Stone), there would be no slave events in the dungeon till you come back home and see the first cutscene where Ben starts working on the machine. After that, you can collect all 3 Artifacts (Stones) even in a single run and by collecting the fourth one, the second and last cutscene will activate and after that, the achievement should pop up.

For players who have already collected all 4 artifacts but did not get cutscene/achievement:
We were forced to delete those artifacts (Stones) from your inventory and remove data record of slaves events. Thanks to this modification you should encounter the slaves events (in the way described above) again and complete the quest in order to get the achievement.

Sorry for any inconvenience it may cause!

If you still encounter any issues - please do let us know on Steam Discussions or by sending us an email to: techsupport@11bitstudios.com. We want you to have an awesome, flawless experience playing Children of Morta!
