Whose Heart Is It, Anyway?

In a world where emotions can be extracted and exchanged like trading cards, you play as a lowly emotion merchant navigating the seedy underbelly of Heartropolis. Your job is to broker deals for hearts—literally. Each heart carries a unique emotion: joy, sorrow, rage, or envy, and the catch is that each transaction drains the previous owner of that feeling. As you engage with various quirky characters, from a lovesick poet to a rage-fueled chef, you must balance your moral compass against the chaotic thrill of trade. Choose your dealings wisely; cultivating relationships with character factions affects your reputation and the emotional landscape of the city. Can you rise to become the ultimate Heart Dealer, or will your trading lead to your own emotional downfall?
