- Heartbit Interactive is shutting down :( - 20 May 2025
Hello dudes and dudettes, Sorry for the radio silence, we had our reasons… and, well, they weren’t great. It’s with heavy heart-bits that we announce Heartbit Interactive is shutting down. We can’t stress this enough: we made it this far thanks to you, our players, friends, supporters and colleagues! You’ve cheered us on with love and devotion (the Flying Spaghetti Monster is most pleased for that). Sadly, due to economic reasons, we’re no longer able to sustain the development of new games, and we’ve had to make the tough decision to close Heartbit Interactive. But don’t worry, this isn’t a game over. Our existing games will remain available, and we’ll continue supporting them and responding to your questions for as long as our aging bodies and frail memories allow. You might notice different names listed as the publisher in some stores, Heartbit Games, Heartbit Interactive Games, Fran…

Treasure chests are also recorded for future playthroughs, so you won't forget about them! No need to thank us; we're the ones thanking you for all your suggestions and support!
