ABOUT THE DEVELOPER
(From a talk I held at a local meetup)
David Vinokurov is a solo game developer from Israel, he’s usually developing his early access game “Netherguild” but during a gamejam early in January 2025, he has stumbled upon an idea that’s also worth making. In February he started working on it seriously, deciding to release it later during the year. So he’s working on two games at the same time now!!! because he can. And because it’s fun.
Here’s a player enjoying it in a physical event (got to present my games in a local game dev conference for the first time ever last May! which was very exciting).

About the game
A unique roguelite where you gather allies and build the perfect team in a dangerous enchanted forest.
Navigate events, fight enemies and dig through ruins while trying to avoid the creeping magical fog… Will your team endure… or be lost to the mist?
Key features
- Drafting your team
- Each party member has different abilities, synergies and choices in events - the player has to build a good scaling machine to be able to take on the final boss!
- 5-10 minute runs
- A perfect coffeebreak roguelite that’s easy to learn yet deep enough to keep you coming for more.
- The Fog
- A fog closes in from the edge of the map - a constant danger you have to keep your distance from.
- As the fog advances, your pool of available tiles to visit grows slimmer at every step… so move carefully!
For Streamers & Youtubers
- Feel free to play the game’s music without worries of copyright issues in your videos.
I own the copyright to the music in Heroes Against Time (made by the extremely talented Tieff who made these tracks specifically for the game).

Technical Help
- Where is the save file located?
Right click on the game on Steam > Browse local files > HeroesAgainstTime_Data/StreamingAssets/SaveData.save
You can delete the safe file safely.
If deleting a save, please check that the save file is deleted by checking the Archives are empty.
If it failed to delete the save (due to Steam auto cloud), please try to delete the save while the game is running.
Some things will not change by deleting the save file like the currently selected palette and various settings.
- Can I try a version with everything unlocked?
Yes! But keep in mind that if you unlock everything, it will modify your save file, so you might want to delete your save afterwards for streaming. Or not!
To unlock everything, right click on the installed game in your steam library / Properties / Betas and enter “UnlockEverything”.
Q&A section
Background
- How did you start making this game?
Heroes Against Time started as an entry for the 2nd Neuro-Sama game jam (https://superobot1.itch.io/sea-of-memories), a 3 day gamejam which ended in at the end of December 2024.
It was addicting enough that developer David Vino decided to turn it into an actual full game… (while working on his other project)
He started working on it in earnest during February, struggling to find a good art direction at first but ultimately succeeding and leveling up in the process.
- Which tools did you use to make this game?
Heroes Against Time was created in Unity, with the sprites being made in Aseprite.
