Heretic — a hooded swordsman before a gothic city under a blood-red moon. Coming soon to Niagara Indie Apps

Overview

Heretic is a mature, dark medieval-fantasy action RPG, now in development for Android and Windows. You begin as a respected scholar. Then you find a manuscript fragment that holds something officially declared impossible, and soon after you are accused of heresy. To clear your name you will follow the trail through destroyed archives, rewritten chronicles, hidden libraries, vanished scholars and ancient ruins, across an original world of kingdoms, religious orders, factions and forbidden doctrines. The game is meant to be difficult. The interface is not. Combat, enemy AI, investigation, puzzles and hard decisions are the challenge; clear menus, a journal and a "What was I doing?" recap keep you from getting lost. Heretic is coming soon to Niagara Indie Apps. It will be free to download and try for 3 days on Android and Windows, with a one-time unlock after that.

Features

Accused of heresy

A scholar finds a manuscript that should not exist. Uncover rewritten history, hidden libraries and the reasons each faction believes what it does.

Hard, fair combat

Third-person melee with parries and smart enemies that coordinate. Four difficulty modes, from Story to Heretic.

Real investigation

Gather evidence, weigh how reliable it is, and connect it on a clue board. Many quests have more than one solution.

Choices with consequences

Factions, companions and the world remember what you did, and the story has several endings.

Difficult game, easy interface

A clear journal and a "What was I doing?" recap mean you can always pick up where you left off.

Offline, single player

Planned for Android and Windows. No account and no ads.
