Greetings, Fam!
It's great to see you all, gathered around the hearth of our humble Setting Sun Inn. Word has it that the brave Bergson family continues their journey along the Children of Morta development roadmap with the addition of the New Game+ Update. This free update includes - you've guessed it - New Game+ content with tons of additional lore in stunning new cutscenes and quests. So, don't be shy, join the family for another round - it’s on the house!

We are super excited to deliver the second free content update from our Development Roadmap. As you could expect, the New Game+ Mode encourages you to follow the Bergson’s journey again, this time with an increase in difficulty, character skill point caps, and upgrades in both Ben’s workshop and Margaret’s lab.
We have also enriched the lore of the game with more than 50 new cutscenes, home events, and activities. We believe these additional pieces of story will strengthen your bond to the Bergson family and the wondrous world of Rea. In addition to the New Game+ content, new family-related quests have been added to the dungeons and will appear during the first playthrough as well. The update is available on all platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
A general list of changes that we've introduced in the Setting Sun Inn Update:
New Game Plus mode where players keep previously unlocked characters, skill tree progress, resources, Ben’s workshop and Book of Rea upgrades, all while playing through even more challenging content
20 new cutscenes
8 new Home Interactive Events to liven up the Bergson family home
26 new Home Idle Activities to keep the Bergsons occupied
14 new Family Events and Quests in the Dungeons
3 new Side Quest Traits
Balance changes and bug fixes
If you are looking for even more details about the new content, you want to learn all the balance tweaks, all the cutscenes, you can find the full list below. However - it may include some very minor spoilers, and we know that some of you are very sensitive about that - that's why we decided not to share it in the list of the main features.
