In a world where emotions are traded as commodities, you play as an 'Empathic Merchant' who has lost your own heart in a high-stakes gamble. As the lines between your own emotions and those of others blur, you must navigate through a bustling city where heart owners are exploited and emotions are currency. Interact with quirky townsfolk, uncover hidden connections between their hearts and your own lost feelings, and make choices that will shift the balance of empathy—will you reclaim your heart, or will you discover that it’s better to keep trading? Each choice takes you deeper into a mystery that not only challenges your morals but also reveals the true cost of emotional manipulation. The aim is to piece together the puzzle of where your heart went and who might have it now while grappling with the ethical dilemmas of emotion commerce.
