Hey there! Warning: the content in this message is unbelievably stupid. There comes a time in everyone’s life where you go: oh crap. Well, that moment just arrived today when we realized we had been so swept up in making sure Herald would be as flawless as possible that we forgot to press probably the most important button on Steam - meaning Valve has yet to review our game Herald: Book I & II for release. The basic gist is that we’re a complete bunch of perfectionist morons for having had a build ready WEEKS IN ADVANCE and still managed to forget to press a SIMPLE BUTTON. As such, we need to delay the Steam release of Herald Book I & II to next week, the 22nd of February. In a metaphorical sense the HLV Herald was expecting to depart in a few hours, but got delayed due to mandatory safety inspections. Now if only the Titanic had done this beforehand… If you received a review key for the game, then fret not! Your key will still work and you are free to write and publish a review. Backers and people who pre-ordered will still receive their DRM-free copy today! As it doesn’t use Steam. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience Cheers,

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 is the first part in a series of games, and scheduled to release Q1 2017. Part 2 is already in pre-production and is scheduled to release at a later date.
Key Features

- 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?
