Greetings, dear players!

We are thrilled to announce that playtest sign-ups for Stones Keeper II: Chaos Lord are now officially open!
You can register right now by clicking the button on the store page. By taking part in the playtest, you’ll be able to earn exclusive rewards that will be available in the full game. The playtest is planned to begin in early 2026 - details about the rewards can be found below.


Before we dive into the full details, we invite you to watch the trailer released specifically for the start of playtest sign-ups.
We’re also delighted to announce that we’ve been selected for The Winter OTK Games Expo - a major event for indie developers. The expo kicks off on November 22.


You’ll be able to experience:
- The first chapter of the Undead campaign, led by the Chaos Lord — introducing the story and core gameplay mechanics.
- The “Skirmish” mode (previously unavailable in the demo version).
- 3 playable factions (Humans, Undead, Inquisition) out of 9 planned in total (1 in the campaign + 2 in Skirmish mode).
- Full animations for all units, dialogue portraits, and castles.
- The ability to share your feedback via a Google Form.
- Two Steam achievements.
- Exclusive rewards for playtest participants.


By participating in the playtest and completing specific objectives, each player will be able to unlock unique equipment for their units.
These rewards will be granted in the full game once all conditions are met. Let’s take a closer look:

First reward - an enhanced axe for your Zombie unit. It significantly boosts its starting damage. By default, you cannot purchase it in the shop at the beginning of the game. However, don’t worry - it becomes available later in the campaign once you’ve collected the required resources. This reward simply grants early access to equipping the Zombie unit with the axe.

Second reward - an improved healing potion. It restores significantly more health and is a unique consumable item. This potion is available only to playtest participants and is single-use.

These rewards will be especially valuable for players who enjoy higher difficulty levels.

Conditions for earning the rewards:
- Add the game to your Wishlist.
- Follow the publisher on Steam: Valkyrie Initiative
- Earn the Steam achievement "Strategist" during the playtest.

To unlock the "Strategist" achievement, you must complete the campaign content available in the playtest without losing a single unit - on any difficulty.


When the playtest begins, you will receive a notification. In the meantime, you can already complete the first step - add the game to your Wishlist to ensure you don’t miss the launch.

Hello, dear players!

We’re excited to announce that Decadent Heir is now open for playtest registration!
You can sign up right now by clicking the “Request Access” button on the game’s Steam page. Why this matters — you’ll find out below.
Playtests are planned to begin in the first quarter of 2026, or even earlier if there’s high player demand.

If this is your first time hearing about the game, let us introduce it briefly.

Decadent Heir is a narrative RPG set in the decadent twilight of the Russian Empire — a world where politics, betrayal, and luxury intertwine in a deadly dance of ambition.

You literally begin the game at your character’s birth and shape their personality through choices you make along the way — developing skills and traits that influence every aspect of the story.
Every decision matters — even small ones, like spending time with your dog or choosing to read a book instead of socializing.

These seemingly minor moments can impact not only the protagonist but the entire world around them — even the fate of a nation.
You’ll be able to revisit and reshape the defining events of an era.

The game embraces the idea of “What if?” — a question that will haunt you throughout your journey, sparking curiosity to see how different choices unfold.
Decadent Heir rewards replayability with a roguelike structure — when your character dies, every new run expands your abilities and opens new ways to change the course of history.

Yes — Decadent Heir uses AI to generate illustrations for its text-based scenes.
This serves purely as a visual aid — the soul of the game lies in its mechanics and hand-crafted storytelling.
Every narrative branch is written by hand, without any random generation — it’s a deeply personal work by someone who truly loves history.

Before we go further, take a moment to watch our new trailer celebrating this event:
The playtest, like the demo version, includes the first chapter out of five planned.
What’s new in the playtest:
- The first chapter has been reworked in both mechanics and story.
- Numerous fixes and improvements.
- Full Russian voice acting added (it completely changes the experience!).
- Feedback form available via Google.
- Steam achievements added.
- Exclusive reward for playtest participants.

By taking part in the playtest and meeting specific conditions, every participant can earn a unique reward — an exclusive talent.

How to qualify:
- Add the game to your wishlist.
- Follow our publisher page on Steam.
- During the playtest, earn the Steam achievement “Hat Trick”.

At the start of the game, you can choose from four basic talents.
As a playtester, you’ll gain access to an additional exclusive talent upon the game’s full release — “Lucky Charm”.
It increases your luck during risk-based choices, allowing your story to take completely unexpected turns.
The risk system in Decadent Heir is designed so that every bold decision can lead to unpredictable outcomes — from a tragic death to the discovery of entirely new story branches!

Knowing this — and with this talent in your hands — will you take more risks?
Will you feel the thrill of taking risks, or the comfort of knowing luck is with you?

Whatever you choose, remember: this game isn’t about numbers or stats.
Even a “successful” risky choice can have unexpected consequences — for the protagonist or those around them.
So follow your heart when making decisions.

And now, we invite you to make one simple choice — add the game to your Steam wishlist.

Thank you!
