About This Game

   Rowell City is waiting for you.

   Add Ballad of Bullets to your Steam Wishlist and be the first to experience its dark descent on release day.

   Ballad of Bullets is a story-driven, open-world 2D turn-based RPG inspired by the American crime cinema of the 1980s.

   With its adult themes, character-focused writing, and retro-noir aesthetic, the game doesn’t just lead the player through an adventure — it drags them into a slow-burning collapse.

   Packed with rich dialogue, strategic combat, a world that changes over time, and unforgettable characters, Ballad of Bullets offers a dark and daring alternative for fans of classic RPGs

   The middle child of the Russell family is a young man abandoned by the military and haunted by his past.

   His father's sudden death brings him back to Rowell City after years — but this return is about more than a funeral.

  The shadows of his past, an alcoholic brother, a missing sister, and his father’s former criminal ties are all waiting to pull him into a darker destiny.

   In a city woven with crime, passion, and betrayal, his choices will shape not only his future — but the fate of his soul.

And for some things, it’s already too late.

   Ballad of Bullets is not just about bloodshed and bullets — it's about the dangerous liaisons that bloom in the shadows.

   From love affairs to desperate alliances, Rowell City is a place where intimacy and betrayal walk hand in hand.

   Players will navigate complex relationships, indulge in moments of lust and tenderness, and uncover secrets that threaten to destroy everything they know.

Desire is never innocent — and in this city, every touch may come with a price.
