Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption News

New Build - "Patch 4" - is Live!



We've updated Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption with several "quality of life" improvements along with dozens of game tweaks (mostly audio, along with a "final" fix to the long-troublesome Katie quest chain) to reported issues. Steam will automatically give you the new update when you play the game.

The biggest changes are in the Settings page - now also available from the main menu. A much-requested feature is the ability to speed up character (including monsters and other non-player characters) in the game. If you like a faster pace, this feature is for you. Character animation might look a bit strange at higher speeds.

Also added to settings are options for switching between full screen and windowed mode and some other options for the adventurous.

"Done" items in the Journal To Do list now show the most recently completed ones on top so you don't have to page to the end to see your progress.

Deleting game saves now works better.

The Boss Wraith battle is now slightly more challenging with the Wraith's ability to summon monsters to help him. The well-prepared player will still get through it just fine, but it's no longer a pushover.

Speaking of bosses, we've decided to make the Rogue to Redemption Bestiary a free download! This is a beautiful art book PDF with all of the Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption monsters and a few strategy tips. For now, click on "View the quick reference" on our store page to download it. We will make it available as Free DLC soon.



Also coming soon to https://www.hero-u.com will be a free interactive Hint and Strategy Guide. We're making it a web page so that we can update it easily with new and improved hints.

Treats and Tricks at Hero-U



Halloween at Hero-U


Noctes de Mortuis - Nights of the Dead - are an important Fall event at Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption. They are a time when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead becomes stretched thin. With the proper preparation, communication with the dead becomes possible at this time of year.

Halloween has always been one of our favorite holidays. What’s not to like about creepy decorations, people in costumes, and candy? This year Lori and Corey will celebrate with a live stream on the Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption channel on YouTube. We’re still setting it up, but what could possibly go wrong? :-) Oct. 31 from 1 pm PDT until probably 1 am on Nov. 1.

The channel is Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption on YouTube. We also have some Hero-U video teasers and trailers there.

The event will include a “slow play” of Rogue to Redemption - looking at all the jokes and clues in the first room or two. We’ll also have Quest for Glory and Hero-U trivia quizzes, giveaways, “ask us anything,” and much more!

Patch 3 Is Live

There is a new patch, primarily to fix 16:10 monitors and the Fitness ability.

Fixes include:
  • The game now supports 16:10 ratio monitors properly.
  • The Statistician achievement now works properly with 100 Fitness.
  • We've fixed some typos and improved some game text.
  • The final "endgame" combat is more challenging now, as the boss avoids all traps.
  • Occasional camera problems after combat have been fixed.


We have not yet changed the Wraith combat. It will be a much more dangerous battle in a future patch.

Patch 2 is live!

We've updated Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption to the latest patch.

Patch 2 includes:
  • Upgraded Unity version, requiring some lighting changes
  • Fixed the Bossa Nova achievement so it is now achievable
  • Fixed sound volume problems with the cinematics
  • Added features including "overwrite" to Save and Load
  • Fixed problems that prevented romance with Thomas and Joel
  • Miscellaneous scripting and "wall collision" fixes
  • Quality of life improvements such as ability to sell extra Fine Daggers
