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

Leaving Early Access: Dec 31, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is actually almost finished. But I'm really short on testers who can play it and share their feedback... and on top of that, I'm going through some serious financial hardship right now... Ahh....

I need your help! All sales revenue will go toward buying assets to raise the in-game quality!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I expect this to take about 2–3 months. It will never go past 3 months. I promise I won't run away.

The game consists of 5 chapters in total (21 areas), and 2 of those chapters will be added in updates after a bit more polishing. Once the final chapter (the true ending) is released, Early Access will end, and post-launch updates will follow (Hard Mode, special modes, and more)!”

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

“The current version includes everything up to Chapter 3 (Areas 1–15). The expected playtime up to this point is about 70 hours in total! (Depending on your luck and play style, it could be 50 hours, or it could be 200.)

Everything except the Chapter 4–5 boss content is already implemented, and every area has its own boss, story, rules, and music. The game keeps getting more fun as you progress through the areas!

Once the game is updated through Area 21 (Chapter 5), it will move to the full release. Before then, I plan to add the following:

- New areas (Areas 16–21): each with a new boss, a new background, and that boss's own gimmicks and draw rules
- The continuing story: bringing the journey of the hero who defies time to its conclusion
- New gear and relics: new gear for every slot, plus new relics and relic sets. There are currently 128 pieces of gear!
- More achievements and titles: in-game achievements will grow to 333. There are currently 239!
- Boss, reward, and enhancement balance adjustments based on player feedback
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes everything up to Chapter 3 (Areas 1–15). Early Access will end once the remaining 2 chapters are released and stabilized (Chapter 4: Areas 16–18, Chapter 5: Areas 19–21).

The expected playtime up to this point is about 70 hours on average, "for players who play manually"!
(Depending on your luck and play style, it could be 50 hours, or it could be 300.)

Everything except the Chapter 4–5 boss content is already implemented, and every area has its own boss, story, rules, and music. The game keeps getting more fun as you progress through the areas!
”

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

“There’s a discount throughout the early access period. Once the early access period ends, the discount will no longer be available; the specific discount rate may be determined based on the promotion!”

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

“We will gather feedback through the Steam Community discussion boards and by email.

We read every piece of feedback about bugs, balance, difficulty and new ideas. When a suggestion matches the direction of the game, or simply feels like a good idea, we will actively try to bring it into the game. Bug reports will be prioritized and fixed in regular updates, and we will share what changed in each update through patch notes on Steam.”

About This Game

- Your hands rest, your dopamine works overtime!!

  • 777 HERO is a pixel-art idle RPG that captures all the heart-pounding moments of pachinko!

  • And of course! It's built so that even people who know nothing about pachinko can have plenty of fun, so don't worry!

  • The controls are super simple too! There's absolutely no real-money gambling, and the only currency you'll ever spend is! The Souls you earn in the game!

- Simple controls!! Just leave it running until you hit the jackpot!!

  • Turn on Auto-fire and the balls launch all by themselves. Keep the window small and go do something else.

  • When you win, just hold down the Space bar. The Hero takes care of the rest. Easy controls!!!

  • Alert Mode: turns the music off and lets you know only when something good happens, with a sound and a flashing taskbar icon.

  • Mini Mode: keep a tiny screen tucked in the corner of your monitor and enjoy the true taste of an idle game!

  • Auto-saves whenever you quit. You can even quit in the middle of a RUSH and pick up right where you left off.

- All the flavor of pachinko, none of the gambling!!

  • If you hit the jackpot and the game congratulates you with a shrug, that's no fun at all, right..? So I've prepared all kinds of fun presentations!

  • Every draw is a fully independent roll with no hidden correction! The "Draws" counter even shows you, in hard data, just how unlucky your current losing streak is!

- But just leaving it running all the time gets boring, right!!

  • 777 HERO isn't just a game where you wait around for the next draw! Pick your own win bonuses and power up your character!

  • Win in a row during RUSH mode and you get even more chances to choose!

- Win RUSH in a row, or hit 777, and a huge chance appears?!

  • Every few wins, a Jackpot Time begins where all kinds of rewards come pouring down! A chance to power up your character big time!!

  • Whatever lands in a hole is yours!! With a little luck, you can even get a high-rarity Gear Selection Box!

- Hit it and stuff explodes!!

  • Just swinging a sword would be boring! In this game, attacking a boss has a chance to set off all sorts of stuff!

  • There are many different ways to attack. Take on the bosses with special gear and skill combos!

- Skill nodes bursting with personality!! 59 nodes in total! Conquer the game with your very own build!!

  • Skills that only bump up numbers felt boring, so I made special skills instead!

  • Each direction on the tree pursues a different play style! Research your very own build!

  • Resetting your skills is pretty cheap. So it's totally fine if you pick the wrong one by mistake!

- Boxes get opened with a kick!! If an aura shows up, is it a high-rarity chance?!

  • Collect gear and relics full of personality!

  • 128 kinds of gear and 37 relics are waiting for you!

- Got a good weapon? Then you've gotta enhance it!

  • Content that will pump out endless dopamine! Weapon Enhancement is here!

  • For balance reasons, only weapons can be enhanced for now! Gotta show the bosses a little mercy too..

  • Weapon Enhancement unlocks after you've progressed a bit into the game!

- Clear hidden achievements for generous rewards and skill points! They even give you permanent effects?!

  • 239 achievements are waiting for you! (They'll be updated up to 333!) — Most of the conditions are secret!

  • 11 Title ranks — earn titles with permanent effects based on how many achievements you've completed!

The Story

Two years ago, my older sister left home and never came back. One million sword drills, zero real combat experience..... A timid twenty-year-old swordswoman sets out on a journey carrying nothing but the pocket watch her sister gave her.

But... what's this? The watch starts talking to her. It turns out a goddess with the power to stop time was living inside that watch, and she nags. A LOT.... Ugh... Where will these two's adventure lead..?!

- Solo development

777 HERO is a tear-jerking one-person project. I'm even doing the marketing myself..

But that doesn't mean the updates are slow!! hehe
