The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived.

🎉 The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian is now officially available on Steam! 🎉

This is a truly special moment for our entire team. For several years, we've been working on this story, striving to create not just a sequel set in the world of The Life and Suffering, but a new standalone drama where every choice has consequences, and where power can become just as great a burden as powerlessness.

If you've already played the demo, we have good news for you—you can continue your journey from your demo save without having to start over.

We want to thank everyone who has stuck with us throughout this journey: whether you’ve supported the game, shared your feedback, participated in playtests, told your friends about the project, or if you’ve just been waiting for this day alongside us.

We sincerely hope Prince Jerian's story stays with you long after the credits roll.

DLCs Are Now Available!

Alongside the game's release, we've also launched three DLCs that are sure to delight fans of The Life and Suffering series, as well as anyone who wants to dive deeper into the game's lore or stay immersed in its atmosphere long after finishing the story.

Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed exclusively for the game by Fyodor Trubin (The Void Brother), the composer behind the music of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.

It features 35 original compositions inspired by the classical musical traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries. Combining orchestral arrangements, expressive piano performances, and a rich palette of string instruments, the soundtrack doesn't merely accompany the story—it is an integral part of it. Many tracks also feature recordings of live instruments, including the violin, morin khuur, jaw harp, and others, giving every composition its own unique character and sound.

Official Artbook

The official artbook takes the form of the Blue Book of the Tempests —an extensive developer codex in PDF format dedicated to the world of The Life and Suffering, its history, and the game's development.

Inside, you'll find 120 beautifully designed pages filled with original texts, illustrations, lore, developer notes, behind-the-scenes commentary, and additional materials, many of which have never been published before and never appear in the game itself. The DLC also includes 12 exclusive wallpapers for both desktop and mobile devices.

If you'd like to learn more about the game's universe or take a look behind the scenes of its creation, this developer codex is the perfect companion to your journey through our heroes’ stories.
