Description

In Love MorteM, you play a former gym teacher and MMA fighter whose life fell apart after a devastating betrayal. Your relationship with fellow teacher Miriam brought you your only daughter, Sarah, but that happiness lasted just a few years. When Miriam was unfaithful with the president of the teachers’ council at the school where you both worked, you turned to alcohol, divorced, and lost contact with both her and your daughter. Decades later, burdened by debt and barely resembling the man you once were, you receive an unexpected job offer. The opportunity takes you to Sol Invictus, a newly opened institute exclusively for female students, where students and teaching staff live on-site for an entire year. Far from the districts of Ivory Island, the institution stands in the old village of Lux MorteM, where a church built by the island’s settlers once stood. Your role is to look after the establishment and serve as a counselor to the students whenever they need support. There is one deeply uncomfortable catch: Miriam was the person who recommended you for the position, and Sarah—the daughter you have not seen in decades—is coming to study there. Accepting means facing the family you have spent years apart from, but with homelessness looming and few alternatives left, you take the job. Against the backdrop of Sol Invictus, Love MorteM begins your story of confronting a past you can no longer avoid.
