Storyline
Sine Mora is set on the planet Seol, an unstable world once divided among several nations and now caught in a long war between the dictatorial Layil Empire and the Atarach Kingdom of the Enkie race. The Enkie are known for their ability to manipulate time, but the Empire develops a machine that can accelerate a target's flow of time until it is erased from existence, giving it a decisive advantage. The game follows two parallel storylines set in different eras. In one, a grieving father sets out to take revenge on the Empire that executed his son, a bomber pilot who refused to drop a nuclear weapon on the Enkie. In the other, the last survivors of the Enkie mount a series of desperate strikes against the Empire in an effort to stop its time weapon.Read more
