THE ROPE KNIGHT!

The Rope Knight has been announced on Steam by our friends. The release is less than a year away. Add it to your wishlist so you don’t miss it!

Become a superhero whose power is rope manipulation. Stylish 2D art, turn-based combat, hot 18+ scenes, charismatic superheroines and villainesses you can defeat, bind, seduce — and sometimes save. Superheroes, shibari, BDSM — that's what The Rope Knight is about.

FEATURES:

• Deep, vivid heroines and villainesses

  The Heliarch heroines and villainesses are more than just archetypes. Each of them has her own story — tragic, strange, dark, funny or unexpectedly personal. Some struggle with losing their sanity, some live under the weight of guilt, some were broken by the system, and some simply enjoy their power. As the story unfolds, you get to know them better — and can influence their fate. Some villainesses can turn over a new leaf, become allies, or something more.Steam post imageSteam post image

• Hot 18+ scenes

  The foundation is ropes — bondage, domination, shibari and BDSM. But the intimate scenes go far beyond rope play: the range is wide. All scenes are hand-drawn, hand-animated and voiced by professional actressesSteam post imageSteam post image

• Combat system — deep, but optional

  Here for the story and hot scenes? The game includes an easy mode so you can skip the combat gameplay entirely. For those who want more — a deep, well-crafted combat system awaits. Build your loadout: stats depend on equipment, different rope types provide unique actions and modifiers, and tactical decisions in battle actually matter.

• Varied gameplay

  Chat with your team, complete missions on the map, send heroines on assignments — and don't forget your part-time job at the bar, where you'll mix cocktails and earn rewards (not always monetary).

• A rich story where your choices matter

  Your decisions affect not just the ending, but the lives of specific characters: some will reform and join Heliarch, some will die, some will become your partner, and some will become an unexpected ally.

• Quality visuals and sound

  Everything is hand-drawn in a unified stylish 2D art style. The game features a driving original soundtrack, and all characters are fully voiced by professional actors — including the hot scenes.

In the meantime, we're putting the final touches on our minor update. It will include the addition of Chinese language support, updated cards in Tailwind, and various text improvements and refinements in several places:

• The encounter with Madam Nadi will now give you a bit more insight into her character.

• In Lauren's side quest, we'll learn more about the dark secret from her past.

• Various other small tweaks that are laying the groundwork for something really cool in the future!
