Das kann ich dir nicht genau sagen. Im moment nicht, das könnte sich aber irgendwann ändern. Wenn du es nur auf Deutsch spielen würdest, rate ich vom kauf ersteinmal ab.
For those of you wondering, "Is this game worth it?" Yes, yes it is. It is very clear that the developer has spent an insane amount of time and work into making this everything it can be. I've played a LOT of these games and eventually you start to see that most have the same assets that are tweaked to suit their needs. I can usually find that they share similarities. That is not the case here.
You literally cannot find anything out there in ANY other game that looks like what you will find in this dev's games. Go ahead. Try. The only way to explain this is that the dev has painstakingly created every asset both in the models and the background from scratch! Not only that, but he takes the time to code in the systems necessary to make this feel like a game. Not just another open world visual novel. This feels like a very cinematic and story driven game, but a game nonetheless. You have goals, quests, resources, it is possible to die in it! I have seen games that were far more rushed and far less in terms of story, content, and work for far more than what is being charged here. I applaud you 395games. You blew me away with making a Renpy game that was a full on survival game with combat mechanics. You've done it again here and I know for a fact that it will only get better from here. Thank you.
Hey, I think I never officially replied to your comment. I wanted to say thanks for acknowledging my efforts and enjoying my games. I'll make sure to keep going just like that and make Covenant of Morn another great experience that you'll never forget. I get a lot of criticism for this game, on some platforms outright hate, I mean just look at the downvotes on your comment. So it feels special when someone sees what I put in and trusts in my skills. It helps me ground myself, so thank you very much.
Clearly the average poster on itchio is not indicative of the AVN community at large. They're just the most vocal. Everyone I have talked to among the various communities I am in holds up Mist as one of the best games they've played in a long time. Several developers I am friends with credit you as being the inspiration by which they decided to try not just having the medium be a simple choose your own adventure where the only choices are which girl you want to be with.
The fact of the matter is, you are treading your own path. There is nothing out there like the work you produce and basic bitches are gonna basically bitch. So anything that deviates from the same old tired formula is going to be hit with hate and complaints. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, though. Innovation is the means by which we progress and make something fantastic that the world has never seen before. Take that to heart, and never let the bitching and moaning and whining of some vocal minority get to you and stop you on this mission you've set for yourself. If there is ever anything I can do to help, let me know.
I got this in a bundle with Mist. It looks very promising so far. The writing and animations look top notch, and the sound is nice too.
My only point of critique so far is that the scenes are just so dark, and I had the same problem in Mist. It doesn’t help that a lot of background characters are these dark, reflective blobs. Not sure yet whether there is a story reason for this, or just an early placeholder. At least the vessels in Mist were matte with emissive effects, which made it easier to make out their poses in dark environments.
I don’t know if you can make a brightness slider for a game like this without the scenes simply looking washed out. I’d love it if you could add more light sources to a shot to cancel out some of the shadows. It’s a really beautiful game, and I’d rather have some candles or glowing magic orbs or whatever appear in a scene without an explanation how they got there, than to miss out on the details.
Thank you for getting back to me! It's good to know there are plans for a Steam release. I'm looking forward to this because I always hear good things from your previous work.
Honestly after playing the demo I know it's going to be a good game. But I've been subscribed to you for a while and I absolutely love mist so I had no doubt that it would have been good. I would like to ask if this is going to be a purely detective base game? And if so will that be different routes and consequences for our actions?
Like MIST, I don't see this game as a traditional visual novel. There is exactly one story that will be told. You'll have freedom in your exploration and interactions with the girls, but the story won't change all too much based on your choices.
Children of Morn won't feature the RPG mechanics that MIST had. There will be things to progress and unlock, but this time around those systems will be more focused on the girls, not the MC. You'll see more of the mechanics that Children of Morn has to offer in the coming updates.
I like to prioritize supporting indie devs that don't string along their supporters, so this was an easy buy for me.
There isn't a ton of content yet (v0.1) but the "quality over quantity" approach with CoM really helps it stand above other games of its kind, at least for me. The graphics are crazy good and I'm really looking forward to seeing the mystery aspects of the game develop in future versions!
Bonus points for building all of the content from scratch instead of just using HoneySelect characters and premade sounds!
Yes, this time no free version. I'll include a demo in the future, but with only version 0.1 being out there isn't really enough content for a demo just yet. I made this change to align Itch with my Patreon, so you either pay 5$ a month for Patreon, or 10$ once here on itch.
Will this have repeatable events? The best thing about Mist was its repeatable events. I hope you can consider making most if not all of the scenes repeatable in-game (instead of gallery only). Thank you and best of luck to your game. :)

Ich habs trotzdem gekauft. Unterstützung ist wichtig.
this in Spanish?
No, it isn't.
Wird das spiel in deutsch erscheinen?
Das kann ich dir nicht genau sagen. Im moment nicht, das könnte sich aber irgendwann ändern. Wenn du es nur auf Deutsch spielen würdest, rate ich vom kauf ersteinmal ab.

Is it normal that there's only the android version ?
I made a mistake with the uploads and quickly had to update the files, everything should be downloadable now.
Thanks for the response and I am excited to test this update
is there any possibility to purchase the game on a different way then creditcard or paypal, i dont have any of those
Right now I'm only selling it on itch.Io and Patreon. I'm planning a Steam release, but not until the game has much more content.

If i purchase it once, do i get it forever?
Yes.
Loved Mist and I'm excited to see where this one goes, great start so far in my opinion
any plan to release it on Steam?
I'm planning to do so, but that'll still take a long time.
Thank you for getting back to me! It's good to know there are plans for a Steam release. I'm looking forward to this because I always hear good things from your previous work.
If this is /at least/ as good as Mist was, then this is money well spent. Looking forward to it!
after playing through mist we all already know this is gonna be top quality next paycheck ima buy this and mist on itch so i have em forever
Just to clarify - if I buy now will I need to buy the full game later again or is it basically an "early bird offer"?
If you buy it now you own it forever and with every future update.
I'm sorry that I can't support your work but I hope this becomes a masterpiece just like or even better than mist.

Yep, and like MIST, you can make choice according to your heart, and not worry about messing up any relationship with any characters. It's AWESOME!
Please tell me there will be combat mechanics, leveling system with upgradable stats and skills to unlock?
So we as a player can build our own mc thru choices such as personality, combat build/class etc to make the game more immersive
Btw I did play MIST
It's one of my favourite
Children of Morn won't feature the RPG mechanics that MIST had. There will be things to progress and unlock, but this time around those systems will be more focused on the girls, not the MC. You'll see more of the mechanics that Children of Morn has to offer in the coming updates.
Rip
Sounds like fun!
Will machine translation options be added in the future, for example Japanese, Chinese and Korean?
I haven't planned anything like that as of right now.
as I haven't really bought much here on Itch, if I buy the game as it is now, will I have to pay for it again when the price for the game increases?
You buy it once and you'll own it. Even when I eventually increase the price for the game you'll still have access to it.
thanks, I just wanted to confirm
I love the outfit design. I really enjoyed Mist, and if this game is similar in quality, I really look forward to it!
I like to prioritize supporting indie devs that don't string along their supporters, so this was an easy buy for me.

Hell yes! Mist was effing amazing! I'll probably go back and replay it after some time has passed. So you know gd well I'm gonna check this one out.
Sorry for read it as Children of Mom
I liked Mist very much but my question here is, there's no free version like Mist? because it's worth it but i can't afford it right now
Yes, this time no free version. I'll include a demo in the future, but with only version 0.1 being out there isn't really enough content for a demo just yet. I made this change to align Itch with my Patreon, so you either pay 5$ a month for Patreon, or 10$ once here on itch.
Then i'll buy it ASAP
I played Mist and now, let's go!
Downloading Children of Morn first and playing it tomorrow!
This is what i want the design of characters(dont like the mist design 😁)
finally it here
Will this have repeatable events? The best thing about Mist was its repeatable events. I hope you can consider making most if not all of the scenes repeatable in-game (instead of gallery only). Thank you and best of luck to your game. :)
There will be repeatable scenes.
If i pay for the game now i'll have all future updates?
Yes. It's in early access, so you are buying the full game with all future updates.
Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this one! Mist was excellent so I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
