Press release:
MILAN – May 30, 2023.
The Rome-based (Italy) indie games publisher and developer Leonardo Production and Xiamen-based (China) indie games publisher WhisperGames, are today very happy and excited to announce that their deck-building roguelite RPG “Shattered Heaven” is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.
A challenging mix of genres and gameplay styles, Shattered Heaven features a deep narrative bolstered by mature and inclusive themes set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting where four factions fight for survival by offering a vestal as a sacrifice to perform a bloody and cruel ritual known as the War of Ascension. Lead a team of three characters on a journey through complex, multi-level dungeons and customize their cards and abilities before facing terrifying enemy encounters.
Manage resources and character development systems to create a fully customizable party capable of overcoming foes in each procedurally generated dungeon. Master tactical RPG battles by carefully drafting skill and ability cards for each party member that create dynamic synergies. Claim powerful loot and rewards, utilize a robust crafting system to create useful items, and prepare for battles against challenging bosses deep in each dungeon.
Uncover choice-based events that lead to branching storylines and far-reaching consequences. A single decision may shape not just the fate of the adventuring party but the entire world. Encounter different events over subsequent runs to learn more about the world’s twisted history and reveal complex lore, memorable characters, and more.
Throughout Early Access, the Shattered Heaven development team will seek community feedback to help shape the game. Frequent updates, including new game modes, features, and regular improvement patches, are also planned throughout Early Access.
Shattered Heaven launches on PC via Steam Early Access on Wednesday, May 31, 2023. For more information, visit the official website, and wishlist Shattered Heaven on Steam.

About Leonardo Production
The inspiration born from the passion for narrating stories is what drove Leonardo Interactive to establish its first own development studio: Leonardo Production, an Italian studio focused on multi-branching story-driven games that blend RPGS, roguelites, dungeon crawlers and card games to create unique experiences that have great artistic and musical assets. The core of the original studio was established in 2016 with its first title Dry Drowning, an award-winning dystopian detective story with a massive branching narrative. The sum of all these elements is Shattered Heaven, our first own-produced project.
