Tin Hearts invites players into a world where love and compromise intertwine, as they embark on an emotional journey through an alternative-Victorian setting.

Leo Zullo, the Managing Director of Wired Productions, expressed the team’s enthusiasm for the collaboration with Black Razor Records, the indie music label founded by Wired Productions. Their joint effort resulted in a moving cover of “Toy Soldiers,” beautifully performed by Aisha Vaughan. Zullo highlights the lyrics’ perfect reflection of the Tin Hearts narrative and the decision to use the song in the launch trailer.
Tin Hearts marks a significant milestone for Rogue Sun and its Creative Director, Kostas Zarifis. Celebrating the game’s release on multiple platforms, Zarifis reveals the team’s deep emotional investment in this project. Throughout development, “Toy Soldiers” became their unofficial team anthem due to its thematic resonance. The collaboration with Wired Productions and the creation of the launch trailer allowed them to showcase not only the final game but also the emotional journey that Tin Hearts offers.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits the release of PCVR, Meta Quest 2, and PSVR2 later this year, Tin Hearts has already captured the attention of players and critics alike. Its immersive world and compelling narrative have set high expectations for its expansion to these virtual reality platforms.
Prior to the PC and console release, Tin Hearts teased players with an animated prequel titled “The Little Soldier Who Dared,” narrated by the esteemed Stephen Fry. The prequel introduces Albert, an inventor from Victorian times, and his daughter Rose as they attend a toymaking convention. Unknown to Albert, his toys possess special qualities, and their adventures unfold when the convention hall empties at night. This animated prequel, brought to life by talented individuals such as Taufiq Permana (art), Thor Hayton (animation), and Matthew Chastney (sound & music), sets the stage for the heartfelt journey players will embark on in Tin Hearts.
In an exciting development, Tin Hearts is now available on Utomik.com, offering subscribers the chance to enjoy this whimsical puzzle adventure on PC, Android devices, and smart TVs. Wired Productions’ partnership with Utomik.com continues to bring their games to the platform as Day One releases, with Tin Hearts joining other successful titles like Lumote: The Mastermore Chronicles, Arcade Paradise, Tiny Troopers: Global Ops, and The Last Worker.
