In Mortis Chronicles: Tale of Cowardice, the fate of Arcadia hangs in the balance as formidable demons besiege the realm. Rally your allies, harness the power of turn-based combat, and uncover a realm brimming with secrets and challenges.

“When I started working on Tale of Cowardice in 2021, it was a small solo-dev project I embarked on to fiddle with the development engine, and whilst I imagined grandeur from day one, I never thought we’d get so close to a demo, so quickly!” Said Mark Lecarde, founder and lead developer at Radiance Digital. “Founding a studio and bringing together a talented and diverse little team has been a huge step forward, we’re working on the world of Mortis with even more immeasurable passion, and with this demo, we want to amaze people and show them that classical JRPGs still exist - they flourish and still can offer a lot to potential players!”

“Following Radiance Digital’s project from day one, we fell in love with its prospects, and saw the game, and the studio, grow from a concept to what will be their first shipping, the Mortis Chronicles Demo this October, which I hope will resonate with JRPG fans!'' Said Sophia Adlington, Creative Director at Noovola. “For us, it’s a chance at a new type of adventure as first-time publishers. We’re excited to be on this journey, and can’t wait to take its ups and downs head on!”
