Welcome to the Null, a surrealist non-space between worlds, times and concepts, populated by outcasts and detritus from across existence. As a lone, self-serving agent of disorder, sneak, brawl, shoot and swing your way through immersive and systemic heists... whatever it is you're seeking.

FLOWER OF STRIFE

Control Eris, mysterious disaster-woman on a mission across fantastical locations, no matter who stands in her way. Infiltrate by running on roofs, hiding in shadows and utilizing strange abilities, and swing with the grappling tether, dash on the air and ground, run on walls and even go toe-to-toe against fantastical characters with a larger-than-life melee combat system inspired by kung-fu movies, fighting games, anime and Garry's Mod. No, that last one's serious.

BLOOMING POSSIBILITIES

Forget skill trees, experience points or inventories. HEARTRENDER employs the Petal system, where you adapt and fluidly exchange abilities from artifacts strewn across the world. A revolver that blooms lodged bullets into crystallized explosives. A shotgun that can converge buckshots into focused tripwire slugs. Throwing out a boomeranging disc of searing light. Turning invisible. Flying like a loose jet turbine. Stopping time itself and even summoning a motorcycle from thin air. Eris moves and fights like a truck doing olympic-level gymnastics. Extremely impressive, overwhelmingly graceful. Still going to break every bone in your body.

RETRODIGITAL SURREALIST DAYDREAM

Inspired by the famous 20th artistic movement of surrealism and classic 90s adventure games with pre-rendered backgrounds - yet shamelessly powered by the Unreal Engine - HEARTRENDER brings its world-between-worlds setting to strange, beautiful life.

AN IMMERSIVE, SYSTEMIC WORLD OF DETRITUS

The Null is a nothing-like-it kind of place. In the tradition of touchstone classics and innovators like Thief, Deus Ex and Dishonored, high fantasy and science-fiction collide to make a veritable breathing playground where every mission is carried out as you wish. Tumbling objects, electricity networks, vehicles, needy vending machines and assorted mysterious arcane artifacts, all occupying the same living space as forgetful machines versed in magic, duty-bound ghosts from senseless wars, well-dressed birdpeople and much more.
