In-game event13 May 2026Community items: Trading cards, badges and more!Hello, everyone! Demonheart: The Cursed Trial community items have arrived! If you're looking to collect the character cards or decorate your profile with a new background, now is the time to jump back in. ːWitchAriː While playing, Steam will periodically drop trading cards into your inventory. Any cards earned from your previous play time should also appear in your inventory. Thank you for bei…
v1.39 This update should fix the Sole Survivor achievement and make it obtainable. If you've already finished the game, you'd need to replay the part where you permanently eliminate that last character in order for the game to register that it happened. v1.38 In this update, I've had to remove one conversation choice from Chapter 5 and reword another, since there was a logic clash with somethin…
Hello, demonhearts and VN enjoyers! The wait is over - the final chapter of Demonheart: The Cursed Trial is now live! What's new? · Chapter 7 is now included in the game (as of version 1.36) · The total word count is now over 160.000 words · The game now has 7 endings, other than the couple of "bad endings" it had in an earlier chapter · A small feature added: A triangle button in the lower-rig…
Hello, demonhearts and visual novel enjoyers! I'm glad to say that we've been making good progress on the last chapter, although it's taken longer than the previous ones because it has more content. A certain player choice will branch the story, the characters will say some different things as a consequence of previous choices, and there will be multiple endings. Because of this, the last chapt…
I've been polishing the existing content in various places. One scene that got some new lines is a scene in Chapter 4 where the main character thinks about Vita in a nostalgic way. I realized this was another instance where your relationship points should be taken into account, so I've added some new conditional lines. Now hopefully, if you don't like Vita, the scene will sound more creepy and…
In this update, I've edited and polished some lines in the existing chapters for better flow. The meaning has stayed the same. The only exception is a line that used to say the city of Ravage "was already a ruin" by the time MC was born. This was supposed to refer to the sad state of Ravage as seen in Demonheart: Hunters, but it sounded misleading. It made some players wonder if Janiya is old e…
This update adds some more lines and changes some existing ones, in chapters 2 through 5. The main focus of these changes has been the relationship between Kaisar and Bane, which we may revisit in the upcoming final chapter. ːhappy_yetiː The changes include: · Added more interactions between Kaisar and Bane in Chapter 3 during the trial. · In Chapter 5, Kaisar will mention Bane while he's ravin…
In this update, I've reduced the amount of Kaisar Approval needed for some options and consequences in Chapter 6. Some of you have said that Kaisar didn't invite you to the tower even in your playthrough where you were nice to him. Now it will be easier for him to invite you. He is supposed to do it even if you betrayed him earlier, and this leads to some unique responses after the romance scen…
Hello, demonhearts! ːRedTridentː I have some good news - Chapter 6 has been included in the game build today! With around 21.900 words of new content, this takes the game over 133.000 words - my longest game so far. ːdazed_yetiː The story continues, with only one more chapter left to go (which will have multiple endings.) I hope you'll enjoy the new addition! ːWitchAriː
This update adds a few features and small fixes, to prepare for the upcoming Chapter 6! You can expect the new chapter to be added in the following days! v1.27 changes: · Added Steam achievements! Currently, the game includes achievements for finishing the existing chapters, finding two bad endings, and the achievements for maxing out different alignments, just like in the first Demonheart! · A…
As of this update, the game will track if you accused Leona while defending Kaisar in Chapter 4, so there will be a reference to it in Chapter 6, which is still in development. If you don't replay, it will be treated like you backed Kaisar but did not accuse Leona (it doesn't make a huge difference.) Also, the wording in some lines near the end of Chapter 5 has changed, but the meaning hasn't.
In this update, I added a few lines for the Seer and Elos to make them acknowledge if you named your character Bright. (Like the protagonist from the first Demonheart - the Seer knew her personally, and the bard knows some tales about her.) There has been another update recently that affected more of the characters' lines. You can read about the changes here: Update v1.24 . Meanwhile, I'm worki…
In this update, I edited a lot of lines in the existing chapters and added some more choices. Many lines have been rewritten for better flow or to better reflect the intended meaning without changing the story. Here is a list of lines that changed meaning and new choices added: · When you meet Vita, you can now clearly answer that you never "made the wrong people angry" without criticizing Vita…
This is an update of the existing chapters: · Changed the wording in some lines to clarify the intended meaning or improve the flow. · Edited one verse of Elos's song to match the song in the music video. :) · Fixed Janiya's name in a few places, when it appeared before she introduced herself or instead of "Janiya's Note." Thank you for your patience and continued interest!
Hello, demonhearts ːDevilHeartː I'm excited to announce that the latest update is now live! Here's what's new: · Chapter 5 has been added to the game , taking the total word count over 110.000! · There has been a slight redesign of the user interface, including displaying your character's name on the "Character" screen (previously "Alignment".) · There have been some small changes to Chapter 4,…
This update adds the new trailer. It will play the first time you start the game without having watched it. After that, you can watch it again from the Extras section. Chapter 5 will also come out soon, the aim is to get it published next Monday!
Hello, everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that the text for Chapter 5 is not only finished but also fully scripted into the game (at least for me!) I'm excited to be one step closer to sharing it with all of you. While the text is pretty much done, as usual, there's still some polishing work ahead. The next steps involve thorough testing and tweaking. I'll also be adding the final touches like…
