Hello all! We're excited to announce that a Gothic boutique based off Markus' infamous store in Red Embrace: Hollywood, Blood & Roses, is now coming to life! While it won't be an adult-themed shop like the original store, the real life Blood & Roses aspires to be a welcoming haven for Goths. Not only will it feature an array of dark goodies to appeal to all vampire fans--but also characters from Red Embrace: Hollywood in the flesh! Actors/models will be cosplaying RE:H stars at Blood & Roses for your entertainment, and modeling the Gothic styles that the shop will have to offer. B&R needs some funding to get off the ground, so if a new, affordable, queer-friendly, flamboyantly vampiric shop sounds up your alley, please check out the shop's GoFundMe! (You can also read more about what B&R will feature, and its progress!) (Note: This endeavor isn't run by AG, but rather by a wonderful, business-savvy RE:H fan named Loki. They have our blessing and full support!) Thank you so much for your love for RE:H over the years! -Dovah of AG

A smaller update this time, but with some notable fixes:

• Missing Heath movie title no longer occurs
• Heathclops has been vanquished
• Increased difficulty of getting saved by an extremely magnanimous faction
• Heath convo in Saturnalia in Chapter 12 tweaked slightly

Thanks again for reporting your bugs!

[ 2019-09-05 06:17:49 CET ] [ Original post ]

In the continuing bug saga, we've just vanquished the Andrei-Heath unintentional death ending, as well as fixed many other ending problems (supporting x, being saved by y, etc). This bug was newly introduced due to an earlier alteration we made; by making other endings easier to get, we accidentally allowed them to override Andrei's, as the calculation wasn't tabulating everything properly. We really, truly appreciate your patience! As a small 2-person dev team working on such a large game, we're very grateful for everyone's support and helpful feedback as we tackle these bugs. This update is most likely the last big one we'll need to roll out as most other issues have been fixed. However, we'll update with another hotfix today if necessary, and keep attacking all buggies until the game is bug-free!

[ 2019-09-03 21:44:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

A quick update that's not quite as substantial as the previous one, but fixes some new buggies that the last patch may have introduced! A big thanks to our players here and on our Discord server for sending in screenshots and error reports! -Death endings should no longer be as prevalent -Special endings should be more easily achieved -Leader ending should work more smoothly/have correct epilogue text -Heath's route should allow the player to reach an epilogue ending with him more easily -Other small visual/text bugs If you continue to run into more errors, please leave a comment, send us an email at contact@argentgames.co, or join the bughunting party on our Discord server. Thanks again!

Thank you all for your awesome support during RE:H's release! As some of you have noticed, there were some significant late-game bugs that needed to be ironed out, so we jumped on them as quickly as we could! We've pushed a patch to both Steam and Itch.io. If you were previously having difficulty with a romance path or achieving a certain ending, you'll likely find it much easier to reach in this patch. We've also fixed some smaller bugs in the CG gallery, certain characters' lineart, and other things players have helpfully pointed out. We really appreciate your feedback so far, and we love seeing your reactions to RE:H!
