Plot

Heileen 2 takes place on a mysterious Caribbean island where Heileen was shipwrecked at the end of the first game. Her ex-slave friends Robert and Ebele will help her survive, but when Heileen discovers a deck of tarot cards representing the seven deadly sins and the seven godly virtues, she realizes that the power of the cards can help her unlock the secrets of her past and shape her future. With the tarot cards, she can escape from the island, find her true love, meet pirates, or do nothing at all. [1]

Voiced and Non-Voiced Versions

Heileen 2: The Hands of Fate was originally released on December 17, 2009 without voices, due to actor problems. After complaints that the game had no voice cast (the trailers hyping the game had voices), the voice add-on and final version was released three months later, on March 19, 2010. Unlike the original trailers, the final version did not have a voice for the main character. All other characters are voiced.

A team of seven voice actors worked on the game.[2]

Sequel

Heileen 3 is currently in development and expected for a release in 2012.
