Nine Parchments is a very fast-paced game about a group of ragtag truant wizarding students going out into the world to look for some missing spell parchments, and while they encounter terrible foes and breath-taking vistas, any dramatic moments of confronting difficult narrative choices (other than, should I throw a fireball at my friend or not) are less than featured in the game’s short, sweet and few cutscenes. Party Banters To match the game’s lively speed and our intention that you would like to experience the action more than just once, we wrote you some Party Banters. You may have […]

Frozenbyte has a new Logo! In the near future we are preparing to release multiple new games, so this felt like a suitable moment to change our logo. Over the years, the Frozenbyte logo has remained largely the same, not counting a few facelifts, and we wanted something a bit different this time around…Something recognizable, yet new, so here it is, the Frozenbyte logo from this point onward: The new logo is a reflection of our creative values and dedication – It is a symbol for the many amazing new projects coming out next year. All the logo files can […]
Has-Been Heroes has just received a massive free expansion pack! It’s out now on all platforms and we’ve got a short video to celebrate: The expansion adds tons of new content for players to discover and includes the Trine heroes – Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief – as playable characters once you have unlocked the Epic Quest mode. The Epic Quest mode will be a true test of skill for the most veteran players as the heroes have no starting spells! Complete with custom animations (Amadeus attacks with a box!) and beautiful 2D visuals in […]
Hey everyone! We can’t believe that so much time has passed since we released Has-Been Heroes back in March – many stepped up and found a one-of-kind, addicting and unforgettable experience.

With that said, we’re ecstatic to announce that Has-Been Heroes will be available in Japan on August 31, 2017 exclusively on Nintendo Switch. With the love and support you all have shown us on […]
There are many wizards in the world of the Nine Parchments, and we have now met all the adventurous students of the Astral Academy who are about to embark on their quest to complete their spellbooks later on this year when the game will be released at last. But they are not the only wizards in the world! Amongst many others, one particularly famous student of the Astral Academy is Amadeus, who made his name and face memorable when he banded together with Pontius the Knight and Zoya the Thief. Together, as the heroes of Trine, they defeated many villainous […]
Nim the Cleaner “Few things are worth pursuing – but a complete spellbook is one of them.” – Nim Favourite spell: Steam Beam Not only vaporizes enemies, the steam also removes grease stains from the dining hall flagstones. A less-fortunate student at the Astral Academy, Nim finances the Academy fees by working as a cleaner before and after classes. The mysteriously masked caretaker is a taciturn mystery who prefers short conversations and solitude. Nim is eager to collect the Nine Parchments, for a completed spellbook means a swift end to a life of servitude at the Astral Academy.
Owl the Mechanical Owl “Think, Owl, think. If Owl were a parchment, where would Owl hide?” – Owl Favourite spell: Electric Bolt It’s easy to be charmed by a high-speed lightning projectile that stuns its targets. So much potential for experimentation, observation and unintended lightning injuries! Owl is a self-aware mechanical creature and one of the many peculiar oddities of the Astral Academy. Being capable of casting spells and learning magic, Owl was accepted to study a couple of years ago. It seems to have a knack for lightning spells. Owl is curious, analytical, perky and completely lacks all common […]
Carabel the Glacial Fortunately, I’m not afraid of hard work… or doing it all by myself. – Carabel, Head of the Astral Academy Student Committee Favourite spell: Frost Cloud A chilly spell for a hothead. An efficient and exciting way to start a career in ice sculpting. The Astral Academy’s precious spell parchments are gone, and Carabel is determined to help retrieve them – and to have the adventure of a lifetime! Coming from a long line of Ice Wizards, Carabel’s childhood bedtime stories were populated by these heroic wizarding stalwarts. She yearns to follow in their footsteps, to leave her […]

Rudolfus the Strange “They say curiosity killed the cat, but I don’t think the proverbial cat knew how to conjure hexes.” – Rudolfus the Strange Favourite spell: Certain Death Spray A dangerous spell with dangerous effects for its caster. But happily enough, Rudolfus loves dancing on the edge of trouble. A student of the sinister death magics, Rudolfus is aspiring to become a warlock. As for his background, no one knows where he came from. There’s also some speculation whether or not he is a werecat, or a cat turned into a man, or a man turned into a cat; […]
Gislan of Alcyon “By the groves of Alcyon, we will find those Parchments!” – Gislan of Alcyon Favourite spell: Poison Flower There is something satisfying about planting flowers, and Gislan does not discriminate when it comes to what kind of flowers are in question. Gislan is the youngest member of a coven of verdant witches. She hails from Alcyon, the sacred island of trees, and was sent to the Astral Academy as part of an exchange program – the witches share their knowledge of the verdant healing arts with one of the wizards in exchange for the wisdom imparted upon […]
