Heartbound Patch Notes — October 31, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
This is the monthly update build for October. It focuses on adding storyline to The Clash in the form of a number of routes for Sheldon. As always, writing is the lions share of work left in the game. It takes time but I will keep releasing monthly updates until it is done.
You can reach The Clash by treating The Mossbacks terribly. If you're having trouble finding this section of the game reach out on the official Discord and talk to people in the #Heartbound channel. You can reach this channel by selecting the Heartbound role under #channels-and-roles. There are a ton of routes so it can be unwieldly to find specific areas at times.
With this update we can draw The Clash to a close. Animus now only needs The Picnic and the final fight scene to be completed. The Picnic will be next up and shouldn't take much time at all. The fight scene is more complex but it's all mechanics with low narrative requirements which makes it much faster to implement. Hope you all enjoy.
- Russian language has not been updated past Fern/Rhode in Animus.
- English is the only language past the Mossbacks.
