About This Game

ENTER THE CURSED ISLAND

Fyodor’s people are dying. Following an old legend, he sets out for a cursed island from which no expedition has returned. Its interior is inhabited by monsters, uneasy survivors, and people with their own reasons for remaining there.

CARDS AND COMPANIONS

Explore eerie locations, meet potential companions, and face card-driven, turn-based battles.

Every character you recruit contributes unique cards and passive effects to your deck. Build a party that suits your approach, adapt to dangerous encounters, and survive the horrors waiting beyond the shore.

A SHORT JOURNEY INTO A LARGER WORLD

Heavy Wake is a focused 20–40 minute experience: an opening chapter set in a larger dark-fantasy world.

NOTES FROM THE DEVELOPERS

Heavy Wake began as the opening of a larger project. As development continued, we learned enough that making that full version properly would have meant starting again from the ground up.

Rather than leave this chapter unfinished, we chose to complete and release it as a short experience. We hope you enjoy this first journey to the island, its strange inhabitants, and the world behind them.
