At long last, on May 1st, Wispfire's high seas adventure will be complete! Following the release of Books 1 and 2 of Herald: The Interactive Period Drama, we are finally ready to release the thrilling conclusion to the story of Devan Rensburg and The Herald with Herald: Complete Edition, which will include the previously-released Books 1 and 2, along with the all-new Books 3 and 4, which conclude the story.

Herald: Complete Edition is a narrative high seas adventure where player choice is vital. As Devan Rensburg, you will navigate an alternate history 19th century where the west has united into a colonial superpower known as The Protectorate. Aboard the HLV Herald, a luxurious merchant ship bound for Devan’s home country, players will begin to unravel a conspiracy that spans the globe.

Herald: Complete Edition tasks players with navigating complex politics and social norms despite inhabiting the role of a man with very little power. The narrative of the game will force players to make tough, realistic choices as they deal with a world rife with racism and intolerance due to bitter class divisions. Will you boldly call out injustice, risking an already-tenuous position, or will you bite your tongue and weather it, hoping that it will win you influence that you can use later on to make a tangible difference? Where other games put the player in a position of power, Herald: Complete Edition challenges the player to contend with the reality of an unjust world, and the restrictions that come with it.

While this game has been in development for over a decade, its message is more important now than ever before. Despite Devan’s relative powerlessness, the actions the player takes in his role can have a massive impact on his found family. At its heart, Herald: Complete Edition is a game about how everyone, no matter how powerless, can do something to change the world in a small way, and we hope that lesson stays with players long after they reach the end of our story.
