Under the Heavens

You begin as no one. A nameless soldier in a war that does not care. Under the Heavens is a narrative RPG inspired by the Kingdom manga. A war story you shape, line by line. Demo coming April 2026.

This is the first-ever fan art of Under the Heavens. There are no words to describe how happy we are. Thank you for your amazing art, @Kaboingboingg!

World Dragon has started his playthrough of Under the Heavens, leaning heavily into compassion. In a world shaped by war, let’s see where that path takes him. Follow along: youtube.com/watch?v=WpEY-v… #indiegame #rpg #warringstates #kingdom

@LegendHeartless @ReformistTM Glad you found us through the subreddit! Once the demo is out, we’ll share it there so more fans can step onto the battlefield. We’ve been aiming to make Under the Heavens a game that truly scratches that itch!

@uthwss @ReformistTM I'm so happy to hear you are a fellow Kingdom's fans. It's my favourite manga It's how I first heard of your gane from the Kingdom Reddit

First coverage is live! @ReformistTM played and narrated the first 55 minutes of Under the Heavens, bringing it to life with that butter voice. “So far I’m very much enjoying it.” youtube.com/watch?v=_RiXEK… #indiegame

@LegendHeartless @ReformistTM It really is an underserved era, that’s a big reason we wanted to build something around it. Also we're big fans of Kingdom! Prologue demo drops April 14. Hope you get to try it.

@uthwss @ReformistTM I'm definitely got my eyes on this. I love the Warring States Era and wish there were more games focused around it.
