All events Players around this date Read on Steam

This is the monthly update build for July. it focuses on adding storyline to The Clash in the form of a number of routes for Fern. As always, writing is the lions share of work left in the game. It takes time but I will keep releasing monthly updates until it is done.

You can reach The Clash by treating The Mossbacks terribly. If you're having trouble finding this section of the game reach out on the official Discord and talk to people in the #Heartbound channel. You can reach this channel by selecting the Heartbound role under #channels-and-roles. There are a ton of routes so it can be unwieldly to find specific areas at times.

For the ARG community a new puzzle was added a few days ago. Finish that one and it will lead you somewhere new. Good luck!

Known Issues

Russian language has not been updated past Fern/Rhode in Animus.
English is the only language past the Mossbacks.

In-game event1 Sep 2026Patch 1.0.9.657This is the monthly update build for August 2026. This month I focused on the Frost Pipes and Throne Room for Niflheim. These rooms are mirrors of the Muspelheim environments with completely different characters, art, and storyline. I was planning on working on the Slums for Muspelheim this month but I think it's a better direction to keep both Niflheim and Muspelheim at the same level progress…In-game event1 Aug 2026Patch 1.0.9.656This is the monthly update build for July 2026. This month I focused on the Throne Room of Muspelheim. This room will be your first interaction with Muus and will set the stage for the rest of the world. Story in this chapter is a lot more straight forward than in Animus so it's going to go fast. Most of my time spent in this world is in environment design and slapstick humor. It's so much easi…In-game event1 Jul 2026Patch 1.0.9.655This is the monthly update build for June 2026. This month I focused on finishing the first room for Muspelheim as well as internal tooling. The "Firepipes" room is now completely done as a result and I now have tools for localization to help into the future. Also added a bunch more animations for the Penguins which will be used throughout the chapter. Known Issues · Russian language has not be…
