Zounds! One of the guests at an English house party has fallen victim to cold-blooded murder. Your weekend in the country is ruined! What choice have you but to ask your fellow guests probing questions, search the house, draw astonishingly insightful conclusions and solve the crime?

​In OverHerd you play an English nobleman in charge of an over-enthusiastic catapult unit. Your assignment? Demolish the wall of your enemy’s castle by firing livestock at it. The challenge? You have to do it in the dark of night using only sound to guide you. If you score three hits before sunrise, the enemy walls will be breached and your army will be able to  successfully assault the castle!

Worthing & Moncrieff’s second title is a satirical strategy game called “Austen Translation.” Think Jane Austen meets the Dating Game with a dash of Flintstones thrown in. It’s a tongue-in-cheek riff on caustic literary rivalries, appalling preconceptions of the roles of women and men, and, of course, the unending quest to marry well. 
​

​HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer is a puzzle-driven visual novel set in a retro-futuristic sci-fi universe. You play the under-appreciated Humanoid Resources Officer aboard the Endeavor — a military spaceship with more than its fair share of crew rivalries, office politics, and erratic decision-makers. When the Endeavor stumbles into universe-shaking trouble, can you harness the power of the bureaucracy to rein in your crew’s worst impulses and survive to the next episode? 

HRO to be featured at AdventureX!

We’re excited to announce that “HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer” will be one of only twenty adventure games invited to appear at this year’s AdventureX convention in London, England. The festival runs November 4-5, 2023. We hope to see you there at what promises to be an amazing international weekend for lovers of adventure games!

HRO @ PlayNYC

Last weekend’s PlayNYC event, hosted by PlayCrafters, was a great opportunity to get “HRO” out in front of new players and to reconnect with fellow game devs. It was nerd heaven in the heart of New York City. We want to thank the players and our hosts for a terrific weekend of games and gamers.
