Very cool game hitting a big milestone!
mokkograd.net Eric @mokkograd.net · Oct 27
Virtue's Heaven has finally reached the 10 review threshold and to both celebrate and potentially capitalize on the (marginal and temporary) boost in visibility, I've put the game on sale for this week!

The world ends tomorrow, your friends are imprisoned and those responsible for both have stolen the future. The time for deliberation is over. It is time to be reckless, irresponsible and beautiful.

It is the Steam Summer sale and all of my games, including Virtue's Heaven are discounted! Why not buy a copy of 2025's most underrated videogame, and leave a positive review, so that it might lose this awful qualifier.

Virtue’s Heaven is a game about weaponizing your own body, destroying techno-fascism, hugging your friends and fighting for a future on the eve of the Apocalypse.

New Blogpost:

I released a videogame and the business worm in my head wants me to post about it all the time, because how else will people notice it, when all I want to do is take naps and think about JRPG battle systems.

Virtue's Heaven out now!
mokkograd.net Eric @mokkograd.net · May 20
The wrong people own the future, your friends are imprisoned and the world is about to end. There’s no more time for deliberation.

It is time for desperate actions.

It is finally time to end the Age of Reason.

Virtue’s Heaven is now out on Steam:

I worked on this game for seven years and it turned into a Metroidvania without movement upgrades (because you start with them) where you use your body to destroy Capitalism's Soul.

Virtue's Heaven comes out on May 20th, please wishlist it on Steam:

Unwinnable launched in 2010.

I am viscerally aware when a post of "indie media" outlets to support goes around that just promotes the 3-4 best funded outlets.

I think one of the reasons I'm so frustrated about people acting like indie media just started in 2024 as someone who has been running an outlet for 8 years is that it really shows that either no one cared before or no one cares actively unless you had recognition and bylines already.

In two weeks, after seven years of development time, countless moments of desperation and almost cancellations, Virtue's Heaven will finally be released. The game is important to me, and I want people to know how it got made:
