## About This Game
## PLAY THE PROLOGUE!

The Prologue is a free standalone version of Siege Survival: Gloria Victis, a
survival resource management game in the style of This War of Mine, set in the
medieval world of Gloria Victis. The prologue shows the origins of the
invasion and gives a quick and thorough overview of the game’s mechanics, but
it also let you try out multiple tactics and make various important choices.
Prepare yourself for having to choose who’s not going to be well-fed: your
civilians, soldiers, or maybe animals? Also, depending on how you progress
while scavenging, you can join another survivor to your group, or trade with a
helpful citizen taking care of the wounded soldiers.

The choice is yours!
## THESE WALLS CAN’T FALL

Your homeland is drowning in war and chaos. As a group of civilians trapped
under siege, you’ll face the ordeal of surviving the invasion. Though you do
not participate in the fighting, the castle’s fate is in your hands.

Support the last soldiers standing against overwhelming enemy forces. Craft
supplies and manage your resources during the day, and scavenge through the
fallen city during the night. You must stand until the rescue comes!
## ENDURE THE SIEGE
You must support the soldiers with weapons and provisions. The wounded and
sick also demand your care. But your resources are limited. You must find ways
to preserve food, and develop your infrastructure to use your supplies more
effectively.

## SCAVENGE THE FALLEN CITY
Take the risk of sneaking into the fallen city plundered by the invaders.
Under the cover of the night, you can find precious resources, trade with
scavengers and other low-lifes, and help the surviving citizens – or exploit
them. But be careful, enemy patrols keep watching the streets. You’re no
warrior, so a fight is always the worst option. You must be smart to remain
unseen… and alive.

## MAKE DECISIONS, FACE THE OUTCOME
In a war like this, one dilemma might lead to another and no decision is
clearly good or clearly bad. One person’s survival may come at the cost of
another’s death, no matter if he’s friend or family. Sacrifices must be made –
with no guarantee they’ll pay off. In these desperate circumstances, however,
survival means more than just staying alive, as morale is paramount. When you
have to choose between sustaining the soldiers’ strength and taking care of
your own survival, what will you sacrifice?

## YOUR BACK AGAINST THE WALL
A messenger had cut through the enemy lines to bring back reinforcements, but
it will take weeks before help arrives. You’ll face hunger, wounds, diseases,
and despair – but also the growing tensions between the civilians and the last
defenders of the city. The soldiers won’t hold for long without your support
and if the defense falls, the invaders will have no mercy. The odds are
against you – what will you do to survive?

## TELL YOUR OWN STORY
Siege Survival: Gloria Victis is developed on a game editor platform we
created with the goal of sharing it with the modding community along with the
game itself – at the release if possible, or later as a free DLC. It will
allow you to create new scenarios for the game from scratch and expand the
universe of Gloria Victis with your own unique ideas and stories!
