Girl Genius: Adventures in Castle Heterodyne was originally funded on Kickstarter in 2020. Read more about it below.
Discover the award winning, gaslamp fantasy world of “Girl Genius™”! Experience Agatha Heterodyne’s story, as she navigates the hostile hallways, catacombs and kitchens of her ancestral home, Castle Heterodyne.
As the Lost Heir to a mad family, she must return the ancient fortress to its former glory and ascend the throne as a “True Heterodyne”. Only then can she stand up to the might of the Wulfenbach Empire and other power hungry usurpers. But first, she has to contend with a corrupted and insane AI controlling the castle, its spiky death traps, and bottomless doom-pits. Not to mention the painfully pink cherry on top, Zola Heterodyne. Another lost child? Or just another villain here to steal your thunder.
Time to find out.
