Calling all heroes, your egg-cellent adventure awaits!

Los Altos, CA, 10 January 2024 | Independent games developer 14 Hours Productions is launching a cure for your winter blues. Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, the Tamagotchi-inspired idle RPG, is coming to Steam, itch.io, Google Play Store, and App Store on March 19th.

Your realm is in grave danger! As its Guardian Spirit, the Fairy Queen has tasked you with raising elf heroes to protect the land from the Dark Lord. As danger draws near and the Dark Lord’s minions begin infiltrating the countryside, your heroic elves might be the only creatures who can save this realm.

Combining elements of the classic Tamagotchi franchise with action RPG mechanics, Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago is a highly anticipated addition to the idle genre. Raise and care for your heroes from egg to adventurer, prepare them for quests, and protect your realm. As you adventure with your pocket hero, encounter new experiences, equipment, landscapes, bosses, NPCs, and consumables.

Raising a hero is no small feat. As a Guardian Spirit, you must protect them from the elements and other creatures of the realm. Prepare to feed, train, and rest your elf as they grow to foster their well-being. When they’re ready for an adventure, just send them out, sit back, and wait for the results. Your hero will let you know when they’re ready for what’s next!

Failing to care for your elf or repeatedly falling in battle means your hero will perish. But fear not! The Fairy Queen remains at your disposal to provide another egg; the realm wasn’t built by one hero, after all. Properly caring for your elf improves their strength, skill, and intelligence, increasing their quest success. Give your elf a rest, a bath, or a fresh meal, and witness your egg become a full-fledged hero!

Key Features: 

• Tamagotchi-Style Gameplay: Enjoy the classic Tamagotchi experience of raising and caring for a digital pet at your own pace.
• Egg-cellent Adventures: Embark on quests with your hero to test their strengths in the field; be mindful of their capabilities to keep your hero alive.
• Idle Gameplay: Once your hero is active, you can relax and let them complete quests themselves; they’ll let you know when your help is required.
• Personalized Training: Train your heroes in strength, dexterity, and intelligence, ensuring they are well-prepared for the adventures that lie ahead!
• Play at your Leisure: Take the game at your own pace, caring for your elf’s needs, training them, and venturing into the world only when both you and your hero are ready.

Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago arrives on Steam, Google Play, iOS, and itch.io on March 19th. Follow updates on the developer’s X (formerly Twitter) and Wishlist the game for a reminder when it drops. Happy adventuring!
