Heartbound - Pirate Software


In December we will be launching the next chapter of Heartbound and releasing the game into Early Access on Steam. New characters, new world to explore, even more advanced sadness. 🖤❤️

From there we will be putting out the rest of the game as additional free chapters. Each time we finish a chapter we'll make an announcement, update the OST with more songs, and launch it all.

You will NEVER need to pay for one of these updates. Once you buy Heartbound you get all of the updates until we finish the game. If you pre-ordered from our site you already have a Steam key so you're good to go.

You can also follow along with development on our daily 10 hour Twitch streams. We stream from 12pm-10pm PST every day of the week!

Also, join us on Discord and chat any time!

In our haste to update the game we missed a major issue that negatively impacted a number of endings for the Demo. This has now been fixed in Patch 1.15.1 which we just released. Sorry for the issues!
