Originally, Heresy was planned as three T.I.M.E Stories fan expansions. The first chapter was released as such in 2017. A bit later, the complete source code to the game as well as the tools we used to generate the cards were made available on GitHub.
Work began on the next chapter around the time the sources were released. The plan was to consolidate the second and third chapters into the next T.I.M.E Stories expansion deck: Heresy II. The story, location layout and basic interaction write-ups were completed in 2018. At that point, things stalled and developers moved physically, making collaboration on a board game difficult.
Enter 2025 and we recognized that we had a basic story and write up, but needed to find a way to get it out to folks. It was suggested that Heresy II be converted into an online work of interactive fiction with a bit of a thematic change. This solved a number of logistical issues and a working Heresy II core was running within 6 months.
Heresy II is still set in the T.I.M.E Stories universe and is a natural follow-on to the original card-based expansion. However, with the Heresy II installment, there are no further plans for this story line. To be honest, the ending(s) of Heresy II would make it a bit difficult to continue the story line, so we will end it here.
The complete Hersey story and has been created under a Creative Commons license. We had fun writing the various stories and we certainly hope you have fun playing them and sharing them with friends.
