In a world where emotions are physical entities, players step into the shoes of Val, a sentient heart broker who navigates a bustling marketplace of feelings. In this vibrant city, hearts can be bought, traded, and stolen. Each heart represents a different emotional state, from joy to rage, and by collecting them, Val can influence the lives of the city's inhabitants. The story unfolds as Val encounters various characters—each with their own emotional struggles—while racing against time to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to drain the city of its emotions entirely. Players will make choices that alter the narrative and the emotional landscape around them, leading to multiple endings based on their interactions and the hearts they choose to collect.
