About the Game

Herald is a choice-driven adventure game set during an alternate 19th century in which the West is united as a colonial superpower: the Protectorate.

Help tell the story of Devan Rensburg, a man of mixed heritage who became steward on board of the HLV Herald, a merchant ship set for his country of birth.

As Devan it is your job to keep the peace among the crew and passengers by resolving their daily squabbles. Set during a time of widespread inequality and injustice, you are challenged to uncover a great mystery that surrounds the Herald's perilous voyage.

Herald Book I & II ends at a halfway point in the story of Devan Rensburg and the Herald. For the Complete Edition of the game, go to the Steam store page of 'Herald: The Interactive Period Drama - Complete Edition'.

IMPORTANT FOR RETURNING CUSTOMERS: If you already own Book I & II and want to upgrade to the Complete Edition, buy the 'Complete Edition Upgrade' bundle.

Key Features

  • A branching narrative that changes depending on how you decide to play. Do you choose to be bold and stand up for the downtrodden, or would pleasing the elite be the safer and smarter choice?

  • Uncover all of the secrets aboard the merchant clipper Herald, as you explore its many nooks and crannies.

  • The Herald is a microcosm of 19th century society. The crew and passengers all have their own dark secrets and often use sly coercion to convince Devan to help them. But who can you trust?

  • Herald's diverse cast of characters is brought to life by beautifully animated portraits, and the performances of thirteen talented voice actors.

  • Herald is set during an alternate 1857 in which the West has been united as a single global superpower: the Protectorate. Governed not by kings but by an elected 'Lord Protector’, the Protectorians believe they are morally superior. But are they?

  • A gripping tale about finding your place in a world divided by race, class and culture.

Hellew, I'm not anyone, BUT...HOLY SSSS, what a noice game it is, indeed. If you even want to like history, or 'the navy' in any sense, go for it....can't be that much, to pay, or spend time on, idk I've done 36 hours cuz, I probably leave it on a ton, and it does get kinda over the top a bit, with stuff, BUT I'd say, if you gotta, or you feel you should, for any reason, then, DANG son, go for it....LOL cuz how could you, even, describe, why you feel, like you should....and stuff. BOOM review done, I guess. bing.
