Thy father lies dead at the feet a once trusted general. Thy kingdom lost. Thou stand now upon the precipice, teetering over the abyss. What wilt become of thee whence thee fall? 

The Heir is a brutal RTS/RPG created during the 14 day period of Acerola Jam Ø. Traverse the bleak and black dungeon 'neath thy kingdom, battle and join hands with its forlorn denizens.

You will grow hungry, you will grow tired, you will suffer disease and deep hemorrhaging wounds. You will lose your companions and self alike as death comes, or as the starvation sets in with only one source from which to sate it. This is a game about attrition, resource management, and the measured control of multiple characters at once. Be sure to keep your physicians safe that they may prolong your time in the bleak and the black.

Perhaps one day the light of the Sun shall grace thee once more. . .
