In 'Heartstrings & High Marks', you play as Riley, a witty and determined high school junior whose world flips upside down when she falls in love with the new girl, Jess, an artistic dreamer with a passion for social justice. As their secret relationship blossoms, Riley must navigate the complexities of school life, discrimination, and the expectations of her disapproving, but well-meaning, parents. The game unfolds through player choices that shape their romance, from heartfelt conversations to dramatic confrontations, all while striving for academic success and personal growth in an environment that challenges their identities. A vibrant cast of support characters—friends, teachers, and allies—add depth to the experience, while humor lightens the weight of serious topics like acceptance and self-discovery.
