Hadrosaurus Software - Enigma Heart DEMO OUT NOW! @hadrosaurus.net · 11/07/2026

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! A preview of what we're working on for chapter 2 (and beyond!) of Enigma Heart: The demo, which includes all of chapter 1, is still available for free, right now -- play and wishlist it today! store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... hadrosaurus.itch.io/enigma-heart

Screenshot of Enigma Heart. The player character stands on a dock, next to a long, sleek schooner with two masts and three sails.

A modified screenshot, split into three time-lapse panels, showing the player executing a special offensive move: she jumps into the air, swinging her sword high above her head. She drives herself down toward the ground, eyes ablaze, with her sword pointed at the ground. When she lands, she sends out a shockwave that destroys an enemy nearby.

The player is in a teal-colored temple. She's got a hand crossbow instead of her usual sword, and she's firing it at a flying enemy overhead. Behind her, a robed magician throws a fireball at her.

The player character is in the same teal temple as before, but is facing down a hulking, demonic-looking enemy with horns and goat legs, swinging a spiked meteor hammer.

Alone, cold, with nothing but a locket to guide you. A mysterious city, far beyond the shores of an ominous black void. THE ACHING, an unsettling horror adventure by The Lobdegg, is 50% off now thru July 9 on Steam & itchio! 👉️ store.steampowered.com/app/2295210/... 👉️ hadrosaurus.itch.io/the-aching

The player character stands inside a house made mostly of blue stone. Stone archways lead into two other rooms, and a set of stone steps leads to the second level. There is a multicolor prismatic pattern on the floor. A text box reads: "The door looks strangely featureless from here. With the dim lighting, it is difficult to see any great detail from this distance."

The player is in a location called "Emerald Waterfall Spillway." As described, it's an underground cavern with a lake of bright green liquid at the bottom. A waterfall, split into two streams, spills from above into the lake. The player character is falling, presumably from a great height, their arms and legs splayed out.

Screenshot of Enigma Heart. Zalia, the main character, swings her sword at a bat-like creature hovering in the air, while a rock rolls along the ground toward her feet

Zalia and her friends, sitting around a table enjoying food and drink.

Zalia inside an icy cave, standing before a blue-skinned woman with purple hair and wearing a blue dress with a slit up the side. Her hand is on her hip, her hair is in a bob, and she sparkles. She looks like a cross between a belly dancer and a flapper girl from the 1920s. Oh, and she's twice Zalia's height.

Zalia standing in a forest clearing in daytime. She's laughing. In front of her is a cow.

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, a pixel art side-scrolling game reminiscent of Zelda II. The player character, Zalia, is kneeling down to talk to a young girl, named Shalina. Shalina says: "Did you hear about the king? He's real mean!"

Shalina: "He said girls can't like girls and boys can't like boys."

Most of the work on Enigma Heart for the past few weeks has been building environments and writing scripts for the end of the first act. We're getting close! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... ➡️ hadrosoft.itch.io/enigma-heart #GameDev #IndieGame #IndieDev #PixelArt #EnigmaHeart

A screenshot of Enigma Heart: a pixel art scene of a room in a medieval-style house with timber framing an walls that are gray brick at the base before transitioning to lavender plaster. There is a table with a sword and shield on it, a bookshelf, a bed flanked by two nightstands, a fireplace, and a table with a bowl of fruit on it, along with firewood in piles near the fireplace. Zalia, the heroine of the game: a dark-skinned woman with a purple streak in her hair and wearing purple, white, and teal, stands in the middle of the room. On the nightstand is a portrait of Esme, her love interest: a woman with red hair. A status bar at the top of the screenshot shows the player's health, level, mana, and experience.

A screenshot of Enigma Heart: a pixel art scene of the interior of a building made of red wood with light-colored hardwood floors. The room is a boat workshop: filled with workbenches, half-filled boats, sails, and an anchor. There's a brick fireplace against the wall, and a bed in the foreground. In the room are Gage, a man wearing a leather apron and a very bright green hat, and Zalia, the main character, a woman wearing purple and white and teal, and with a purple streak in her hair.

Pixel art scene from Enigma Heart. Zalia and Priscilla are on a dock: Zalia sitting on a crate, Priscilla standing. The long tails of Priscilla's pirate-style headband are blowing in the window. Both have their backs turned to the camera. It's sunset, with the sky in shades of gold, orange, and purple, with gold and orange clouds. The lighting is low, and slightly reddish. The ocean stretches off to the horizon.

A text box, indicating Zalia is speaking, reads, "This is nice."

Zalia is climbing a ladder through a thin vertical tunnel deep in a dark cave. The only light in the scene is cast off by glowing mushrooms, giving the entire scene an eerie cyan glow.

In the middle of the screen, a horizontal tunnel cuts across Zalia's path. There are two spinning blade discs inside the horizontal tunnel, that presumably move back and forth. Inside, as if shredded by them, is a dead goblin.

And because there's way too much to show in one post... have some more! ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... ➡️ hadrosoft.itch.io/enigma-heart #ScreenshotSaturday

Main menu of Enigma Heart. The menu has the items: Status, Magic, Inventory, Bestiary, Goodies, Load, Save, Options, Quit. The main window has an anime-style portrait of the hero Zalia, and her stats and abilities listed. The window in the bottom left shows the player's location (Danab Palace), and the time: currently at 1 hour, 0 minutes, and 22 seconds. The player is at level 6, with three lives, and is at low health and mana, presumably after a boss fight. She has attack level 3, and sorcery and defense levels 2.

Pixel art scene from Enigma Heart. The player character, Zalia, stands at the end of a long dock, looking out to see. The ocean stretches out toward the horizon. Far off in the distance, beyond the horizon, are green rolling hills and a forest. A small ladder leads down from the dock into the water.

A dark room in a gray stone temple, illuminated only by the boss: a horned, flaming skull that currently has its mouth open and is baring down on the player. The player is at critically low health, and the boss has three health units out of eight remaining. The player is at attack level 4, and sorcery and defense levels 2. Her clothing palette is teal and blue and yellow, indicating she has a damage-reduction spell currently in effect.

A high-resolution watercolor-style illustration of a royal throne room. The room itself is dimly lit and oppressive feeling. The new king -- a tall, lanky man wearing a demonic-looking golden crown and wielding a red-bladed sword, sits alone on the throne. The only people in the throne room are armored guards, save for one peasant woman who is being denied an audience with the king. The image is surrounded by a gold frame with gold ornamental circles, and teal corner accents featuring icons such as hearts, a labrys, and crossed swords. Text underneath the image reads:

The hope that Regnar would continue his father's legacy quickly gave way to oppression. Regnar enacted harsh laws and grew distant from the people.

For #ScreenshotSaturday this week, a collection of scenes we've been working on recently for Enigma Heart! We're speeding toward having the demo finished and ready to play. ➡️ WISHLIST Enigma Heart today! store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... Also on itch: hadrosoft.itch.io/enigma-heart

Screenshot of Enigma Heart. Zalia is in a grassy field that ends at a slope leading into some water. There are typha plants in the water, poking up through the surface. In the background, the water extends to the horizon.

A high-resolution watercolor-style illustration of a crowd of people gathered in a royal throne room. The room itself is awash in warm, inviting yellow light. The mood of the crowd appears jovial and social. One spear-wielding guard is giving a welcoming gesture to a woman with two children, inviting them in to visit the king. One member of the crowd is holding a dog. One woman in particular is speaking enthusiastically with the king, who appears to be listening intently. The image is surrounded by a gold frame with gold ornamental circles, and teal corner accents featuring icons such as hearts, a labrys, and crossed swords. Text underneath the image reads:

Once upon a time, the realm of Lufain thrived under the just rule of its noble king, Eryndor. He was beloved by his people -- yet, as does for us all, Eryndor's time came to an end. The crown passed to his son, Regnar.

A pixel art scene in a village deep in the woods. In the background is a forest that extends toward a mountain range on the horizon, set against a brilliant blue sky that peeks out between the forest canopy above. A funeral procession is passing by. The main character, Zalia, is one of the pallbearers. Behind the coffin is a line of people, led by the widow, dressed in black and wearing a veil, and crying into her hands.

A screenshot of Enigma Heart. The player is in The Purple Labrys, a central location in the game. The wall is adorned with banners bearing the purple labrys crest. One picture frame in particular contains a large, hard-to-miss lesbian pride flag.

Screenshot of Enigma Heart. The scene is in Zalia's room in The Purple Labrys. Zalia (identified as question marks in her dialogue box because we don't know her name yet) is looking at Esme, who's sitting beside her bed in a chair. Zalia says: "I... Um. No. My first and only memory is waking up here, looking up into your..."

Zalia is looking straight ahead, silent, but blushing profusely.

A little bug in a script: that thing on the bar is supposed to be a bowl of soup. Instead, Esme served Zalia a slice of foothills. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #EnigmaHeart #PixelArt

Pixel art scene of a medieval tavern. Esme and Zalia, two main characters of our game Enigma Heart, are standing on opposite sides of the bar. In between them, as if at a place setting, is a pale green square with some very nice dithering. (It's a grass tile)

In Enigma Heart, you begin the story as a wanderer, traveling from place to place. Why? We don't know. After an encounter in the woods with some monsters, you've lost your memory. The cool part? You can wishlist it on #Steam right now! store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/... #ScreenshotSaturday

A pixel art scene of a grassy field, with a dense wood at the horizon along with the crumbled ruins of a stone tower nearby. A river runs through the field. Zalia, the protagonist, walks toward the camera, along the bank of the river.

Zalia walks, tightrope-style, on a fallen tree which acts as a bridge between two grass-covered rocky cliffs. Bare-limbed trees line both cliffs. We're very, very high up, as the trees below appear quite small.

A bit more of a serene scene. Zalia, her back to us, sits in the grass at the shore of a lake. Her sword and shield sit in the grass near her. The lake surface is as flat and calm as a mill pond. The sun is low in the sky, probably setting. The mountains in the background reflect off the lake's surface, and the low-hanging sun shimmers on the water.

A side-scrolling scene more typical of the gameplay. Zalia stands in some tall grass near the entrance of a forest. The scene is at sunset, as the sky is filled with brilliant gold, orange, and purple colors, with orange and gold-colored clouds. She's standing still, looking into the woods, and calling out: "Hello?"

Introducing the official key art and cover design for Enigma Heart, with art by @pepperly.art and logo by Clarissa! Support at patreon.com/hadrosoft

Anime-style drawing. Two women stand on a dirt path that winds its way through a grassy meadow. The woman closer to the camera is Black, wielding a sword and shield, and on guard with a cocky smirk on her face. She has dark hair with a purple streak, and is wearing a teal vest over a white shirt with purple pants and white boots. Her name is Zalia. She's standing in front of and guarding Esme, a white woman with flowing red hair and wearing a blue-and-green tavern dress. Esme has her hands clutched together, swooning and blushing, clearly in love with this brave adventurer.

In the background is a peaceful medieval village underneath a bright blue sky. Even farther in the distance is an ominous-looking castle. Above the castle, the sky has transitioned to a darker, more purple tone, with several bolts of lighting.

Superimposed on the image are the logos for Enigma Heart (the game) and Hadrosaurus Software (the studio).
