Hello guys!
I wanted to do a quick announcement in case some of you missed our latest news. Heads Will Roll: Downfall — a free-to-play prologue for HWR: Reforged — is already out and you can play it right now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903060/Heads_Will_Roll_Downfall/

At the moment we're working on a big patch for the game that is going to add a bunch of QoL features and also do a major balance shift. You can read more about the upcoming patch here:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1903060/announcements/detail/3409813763404182281

And last but not least we wanted to announce that we're lauching a Boosty page (an equivalent of Patreon since Patreon doesn't work with Russian citizens) where anyone (from any country), who has a desire to do so, can offer us some financial support for a bunch of rewards. This is strictly voluntarily so please don't feel pressured to do so. But, if you want to show your appreciation or to support the ongoing development of HWR: Reforged — you're welcome to do so.
Here's the link: https://boosty.to/1917studios

Heads Will Roll: Downfall is OUT NOW!

Hello everyone!

The time has come! We are super excited to announce that Heads Will Roll: Downfall is now available on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903060/Heads_Will_Roll_Downfall/

The team has been working hard on the game, eagerly awaiting today's release! We want to share our sincere gratitude for supporting the game and being part of the community!

We have poured our soul and heart into the game, and hope you will enjoy it!

First of all, let's check out the launch trailer:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Let's talk a bit about game content and our plans going forward.

[Game Content]

Even though it's only a prologue, the small part of the whole story, we wanted this to be something you could play over and over again. That is what we feel we have achieved, 100%.

The game has three difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Heads Will Roll.

We recommend choosing "Heads Will Roll" difficulty for the most authentic experience.

Think of it as "New Game Plus", each death will increase your in-game profile depending on how far you have progressed. As you progress through the levels, you gain more character generation points, which enables you to create stronger characters and try to survive again.

Good luck!

[Communication and QoL Improvements]

After the game is released, we will continue to communicate with you to get feedback on the game and will continue to make improvements! All bugs will be fixed, balance issues will be investigated, and most importantly--we will evaluate all feedback on quality-of-life issues to make gradual improvements.

So, please join our Discord to chat with us about the game.

[h3]Wishlist and Follow the Full Game![/h3]

This will greatly help us and provide invaluable support for the project on release!
