Buy Herald: The Interactive Period Drama - Complete Edition PC key

Herald: The Interactive Period Drama - Complete Edition is a choice-driven adventure set in an alternate 1857, where the West forms a single colonial superpower called the Protectorate. You play Devan Rensburg, a man of mixed heritage who serves as steward aboard the merchant ship HLV Herald, bound for his country of birth. The Complete Edition contains all four books, which together tell the full story.

Aboard the Herald

As steward, you resolve daily disputes among the crew and passengers and try to keep the peace. The Herald reflects the inequalities and injustices of 19th-century society: its crew and passengers have their own secrets, and often use coercion to persuade Devan to help them. You explore the ship’s many nooks and crannies, uncover its secrets and face a mystery surrounding the perilous voyage.

Choices and characters

The story branches according to your decisions. You can stand up for the downtrodden or try to please the elite, and the choices you make shape how events unfold. The game’s animated character portraits and performances from eighteen voice actors bring its diverse cast to life.

The Protectorate

The Protectorate is governed by an elected Lord Protector rather than kings. Its people believe they are morally superior, a claim the story puts in question. Devan’s journey is about finding his place in a world divided by race, class and culture.
