In a world where people can temporarily share their emotions and memories through stolen hearts, players take on the role of Max, a quirky 'Heart Thief' with a knack for mischief. As Max, you navigate a bustling city that thrives on emotional commerce, where individuals trade pieces of their hearts for temporary access to each other’s emotions. However, following a botched heart heist, Max ends up with the heart of a recently deceased detective whose unsolved murder case still looms over the city. With the help of eccentric allies and emotional insights gained from the heart, players must unravel the tangled secrets of the city and the detective’s past before a powerful syndicate takes them down. Each choice impacts the emotional ties between characters, leading to multiple endings based on interpersonal connections and the morality of heart-trading.
