Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“HEARTRENDER is a toybox made of all sorts of whimsical parts. The way they interact is what makes it all interesting, but also possibly unwieldy. That's what makes Early Access the best way to release it, where I can talk to my player base and gather feedback from them to tune up HEARTRENDER and make it the best game it can be.

Aside from getting help finding bugs to fix, much of the feedback I'll be looking at will be focused on ensuring that missions, equipment, characters and level design are properly balanced to make HEARTRENDER a game that supports a variety of equally compelling of playstyles and approaches. This back-and-forth, alongside engaging with an audience, will be the driving force that'll get us from the very first test builds to the full-fledged game release I'm committed to make.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least three years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Alongside an inflow of balance updates and bugfixes, we'll be looking at new equipment, missions and modes, as well as lots more of other stranger, exciting ideas as the project evolves.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In its first day, HEARTRENDER will have almost all of its base mechanics, the story mode's first missions, a modest selection of equipment and a training area.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Gradually throughout its early access and once more in its full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Game development is a complex, ambitious, eldritch thing. While it's unrealistic to promise accomplishing every single thing desired by every single player, Early Access will let me establish a back-and-forth between me and the audience, letting them help me shape the HEARTRENDER to its best possible version and help me decide many gameplay design choices I'll make throughout development, especially balancing the effectiveness of the many tools the player can use. The developer's social media presence will be the major spot to receive feedback and hear thoughts from players.”

About This Game

I AM BECOMING SOMETHING MONSTROUSLY BEAUTIFUL. Welcome to the Null, a surrealist non-space between worlds, times and concepts, populated by outcasts and detritus from across existence. As a lone agent of strife on a personal mission, sneak, brawl, shoot and swing your way through open-ended heists.

FLOWER OF STRIFE

Control Eris, mysterious disaster-woman maestra on a journey across fantastical locations, no matter who stands in her way. Infiltrate from rooftops, hide in shadows, swing from your tentacle arm and more. Ditching subtlety, go up against fantastical characters with larger-than-life melee/firearm hybrid combat inspired by kung-fu films, fighting games, anime and Garry's Mod. No, that last one's serious.

BLOOMING POSSIBILITIES

Forget micromanaging inventories and grinding. HEARTRENDER employs the Petal system, where you adapt and fluidly exchange abilities from ethereal shapes strewn across missions, from a vast array of firearms to showstopping spells of all kinds. A revolver that crystallizes bullets into explosive nails of pure light. Cast a bolt of lightning from the sky. Flying like a jet and even summoning a motorcycle from thin air. You're an improvised arsenal of mayhem. Act like it.

RETRODIGITAL SURREALIST DAYDREAM

Inspired by the famous 20th artistic movement of Surrealism, classic 90s adventure games with pre-rendered backgrounds and 1970s giallo Italian cinema - yet shamelessly powered by the Unreal Engine - HEARTRENDER brings its world-between-worlds setting to strange, beautiful life, including high-class lighting and audio.

AN IMMERSIVE, SYSTEMIC WORLD OF DETRITUS

The Null is an unprecedented place. Learning from classics like Thief, Deus Ex and Dishonored, fantasy and sci-fi collide in a playground where tumbling objects, power grids, vehicles and assorted arcane artifacts occupy the same space as forgetful magical machines, dutybound ghosts from senseless wars, well-dressed birdpeople and more.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

HEARTRENDER contains several instances of intense content. Gameplay includes numerous instances of graphic violence and gore (although stylized and non-photorealistic), while the story has instances of harsh language, mention of historical atrocities, self-harm and suicide, child abuse, institutionalized and personal discrimination, references to mental health topics and pronounced sexual themes. There is no explicit, visual nudity.

Text stories have an in-game, opt-in system that can tell you about their sensitive content when they begin. You can interrupt their reading at any time.
