The Lunar New Year Sales have begun!

Steam Sale! Celebrating the release of The Crooked Man!

We are also planning to release the other titles in this series.

To celebrate the launch of this title, we have set some fantastic 2D pixel games from Playism on sale! So please enjoy them all together.

In addition, we would like to introduce the impressions from Miwashiba, the developer of 1bitHeart, about The Strange Man series.

The Strange Man series offers up gripping horror vignettes of the highest caliber — among a gauntlet of other emotions, besides.
Horror games make me squeamish—I had to play this game from behind a pillow—but I was captivated into pushing through by the intriguing story and characters. I found myself caught in an endless cycle of wanting to move on, and being too afraid to do so.
I want for everyone to uncover what lies within for themselves; if you are in any way inclined, I urge you to play the series front to finish. Give the Strange Man series a chance to get its hook into you.


We hope you enjoy it!

1bitHeart Update - 9/13

Hi All

I hope that you are enjoying 1bitHeart!

Sorry to keep you waiting, but we have fixed the following bugs that you reported:
  • Concerning the sound balance problem
    When making the Steam compatible version, some issues came about regarding the volume levels of the sound in the game. We have gone through and fixed all of this, and it should be working as intended now.
  • Fixed the problem where some voices were played twice.
  • Small text corrections
  • Other fixes for minor bugs.


In 1bitHeart we have made an achievement for each character. Looking at the rates of which these achievements are achieved, we noticed that Sakuma seems to be very popular at the moment (September 13, 2017)
http://steamcommunity.com/stats/618720/achievements/
She's a character that speaks rather harshly, but at times she really has a cute side to her.


Which character is your favorite?

We hope that you continue to enjoy 1bitHeart!
