In a world where emotions are harnessed as currency, you play as Val, an underground emotion smuggler with a knack for acquiring hearts (both figuratively and literally). As you navigate the chaotic streets of Empatia City, you encounter various characters—each with a distinct emotional signature. A shipment of stolen hearts has gone missing, and you must track down the thief while juggling rival factions, personal demons, and an overly chatty sidekick. Your choices shape not just your fate but also the emotional landscape of the entire city, leading to multiple endings based on how much drama you stir up.
