Unfading brings their stories to light. Step into the moment, make difficult decisions, win story-driven minigames and unlock short videos revealing the real people and events behind each adventure. THE STORY IS YOURS TO PLAY Choose your path through each adventure. Your decisions shape your stats and can unlock new ways to progress in the story. The strengths you build affect the difficulty of the challenges you face. PLAY THROUGH THE MOMENT Minigames woven into the story put those strengths to the test. Complete the main goals to reach the end—and every optional goal to earn a Golden Seal. DISCOVER WHO REALLY LIVED IT Finish each adventure to unlock a short video about the real people and events behind what you played. FIND STORIES WORTH REMEMBERING Meet ordinary people who faced extraordinary moments—and left behind proof of what people can do when it matters. For fans of branching stories, interactive fiction and visual novels, Unfading brings meaningful choices and minigames together with something rare: inspiring stories rooted in real life. The playable stories are dramatizations inspired by the historical record, not documentaries. Your choices shape how you experience them; they do not change the real act at their center. Dialogue and inner lives may be imagined, timelines compressed, and some characters renamed or combined. Each reveal explores the real history behind the fiction. Made by Mannord Games.

About

Aransaga

Read full description

Aransaga is an interactive fantasy novel: a branching tale in which your choices set the path — written like a book, played like an adventure. A VILLAGE, A RIVER, A SILENCE Toren, a farmer in the remote village of Ondra, witnesses something that cannot be explained: the mill wheel stands still, and the river falls silent. What begins in the village grows, chapter by chapter, into a threat larger than anything Ondra has ever known. YOUR CHOICES MATTER At every fork you decide: what do you say, whom do you trust, where do you go? Your choices shape relationships, open hidden paths and echo far into later chapters. MORE THAN THE MAIN STORY Side quests tell the small stories along the road. Hidden collectibles reward attentive reading — each with its own entry in your collection. And the chronicle keeps every finished chapter as a book you can reread at any time. A BOOK IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish and Greek — with atmospheric music for every place. VOLUME 1 IS FREE Twelve chapters, one complete arc — no ads, no tracking, playable offline.
