About the Game

After the 2012 Flare, the world changed forever. Superpowers, superheroes, villains and monsters became the new reality.

You are The Rope Knight, a superhero capable of creating and controlling ropes. Joining the Heliarch team, you begin your journey as a newcomer destined to fight evil and decide the fates of those who stand on both sides of the law.

  • 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.

  • 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 actresses.

  • 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.
