In a world where emotions are commodity traded in the underground black market, you play as a rogue heart-siphoner named Sam. Throughout your journey, you explore various urban environments, interacting with characters who each possess unique emotional 'hearts' that regulate their feelings and behaviors. You'll collect hearts through dramatic encounters that test your wit, decision-making, and empathy. The twist? You must discern which emotional hearts to collect and which to return, as the balance of the city's emotional ecosystem hangs in the balance. Each choice leads to unexpected consequences, creating multiple story pathways and endings, based entirely on whether you're selfish or altruistic.
