Unreliable Heroes
Game developed for Brackeys Game Jam 2026.2.
Theme: Trust No One
You've decided to go back to your home village and help keep it safe but, it's a difficult job to do alone. We need more people. We need Heroes!
Manage a guild of Heroes, keep the village safe, and make it prosperous again.
You must hire heroes to complete the villagers requests, but don't trust just anyone, you need to find out who is reliable enough to be a part of this amazing guild and help the village.
Every Hero that comes to the village will tell you something about themselves. Decide how reliable they can be based on their self assesments and put them to the test by completing several quests for the villagers.
Complete enough quests and you'll have enough resources to upgrade your guild hall, hire more heroes, and take on more difficult quests.
You may even be able to defeat the Evil Dragon and bring peace to the village, but for that you must upgrade your guild and, have the most reliable heroes by your side.
Controls: Mouse (touch inputs were tested and are working)
Instructions
Tabs:
- Guild Management - Shows the current guild rank and how many quests you need to unlock the next progression quest and, the hero limit for your current level
- Hero Recruitment - Recruit heroes (up to current hero limit). Use the descriptions to try an intuit their stats
- Quest Journal - List of available quests. You need at least one hero to start quests. You can add heroes to the quest party at the bottom of the quest details ('+' button)
Heroes have stamina that gets spent when they go on quests. If they're not part of a party they recover stamina. If it get too low it may affect quest success rate
(also just realized there may be a bug that prevents heroes from recovering stamina if you select them for one quest and then run a different one, ups :P - fixed)
After the quest is completed, new heroes and quests may appear at the respective tabs.
When you complete enough quests to rank up, the rank up quest will appear at the top of the list. You must complete it before unlocking the next tier quests and to increase hero limit.
