Heartstrings: Whose Heart Is It Anyway?

In a world where emotions are currency, you play as Alix, a heart broker who trades the feelings of others to navigate a society teetering on the edge of despair. You find yourself in the midst of a high-stakes rivalry between two powerful factions: the Empathists, who wish to share and amplify emotions for a better world, and the Cynics, who hoard feelings to maintain their grip on power. As you gather hearts—both literal and metaphorical—from your encounters, each choice affects not only your survival but the fate of the city itself. Will you use your growing collection of emotions to uplift the downtrodden or exploit the vulnerable? With each interaction, navigate complex relationships and confront the question: Whose heart are you truly after?
