Hey gang! If you haven’t already, check out Herald: An Interactive Period Drama! I got a chance to play the first two books, and it’s quickly grown to be one of my all-time favorite indie games. I can’t recommend it enough for people who love games with gorgeous visuals and great story! 

A nice little non-spoilery video review of Herald! For those of you still on the fence, this might give you some idea of what to expect.

We never did post our launch trailer here did we? Here it is!

We're proud to announce the release date of the PC version of Herald Book I & II: February 16th, 2017

To celebrate, we've released a short featurette explaining some of the colonial themes and characters of Herald:

Mac and Linux versions will be released at a later date.

If you would like to wishlist, you can do so on our updated steam page :)

Hey everyone!

We have great news! The Mac and Linux versions of Herald: Book I & II will be releasing alongside with the Windows version on Steam and Humble when the game launches Wednesday, this week!

Hey everyone!

To prepare you for the upcoming release of Herald, we made a special interactive video to illustrate what kind of choices you'll be making.

In this interactive vignette you are presented with a conflict set aboard the Herald, and at the end you can vote to choose how our main character, Devan Rensburg, responds to the conflict.

Voting happens here and ends on Monday, 11 AM GMT!

Next Thursday we will release a new vignette which will be a direct continuation of the choice with the most votes in total! 

We’ve had a lot of amazing response from you guys, so we thought we’d answer some of your burning questions!

It’s a maritime dating sim, right?

Yes that is totally what Herald is! ;p Kidding aside, flirting is not out of the question, but the focus of the game is more about making friends...or enemies! scatteringmyashes reblogged your photoset and added:

The real question: can you be gay in it

You can be as gay as you like, but whether Devan is, is up for debate! thisblackwitch reblogged your photoset and added:

Another “half white/half other” game? Lame. Can’t folks do anything else?

We’re sorry you feel that way! For Herald it was a very deliberate narrative choice as to place the player between two worlds and explore the identity struggle many people face in a multicultural society. 

We had a great time going through some of the tags you left! If anyone has any questions about Herald, it’s themes and story, feel free to ask us!
