Mourn-born

Mourn-born is set in a colony on a faraway planet where hostile humanoid abominations are taking over. You play an unannounced guest who joins a security team, armed with a strange sword, to rescue survivors as the colony awaits evacuation vessels. The abominations’ origins are unknown: they may be mutants, genetically modified experiments or victims of a disease.

Fight the abominations

You are fast and agile, but swinging your heavy sword takes strength and leaves you immobile during an attack. Time your strikes carefully and destroy different abominations in a strategic order to avoid being overwhelmed or cornered.

The common base breeds have set behaviors that you can study. As the game progresses, enemies can merge to create new monsters with inherited and enhanced strengths.

Customize your body and sword

You can replace body parts with cybernetic implants and enhanced, lab-grown organs to gain special abilities. The way you build your sword determines which of its four different attacks you can perform.

Follow the campaign

A short, linear storyline introduces the world and your character’s objectives. It includes conversations with characters, with no dialogue options, as well as your character’s comments outside conversations, shown as text above their head. Memories, item descriptions and unlockable lore add to the story.

A final boss marks the campaign’s end. Afterward, you can optionally start a New Game Plus, which makes combat more challenging without changing the story.
