In a world where emotions can be harvested and traded like currency, players assume the role of Jamie, a quippy emotionsmith who has the magical ability to swap hearts between individuals. After a strange twist during an emotion harvest gone awry, Jamie accidentally shuffles the hearts of several townsfolk — from the pessimistic librarian to the overly optimistic baker. As Jamie rushes to restore emotional balance before the hearts take on lives of their own, players engage in humorous and dramatic text-based dialogues, solve heart-transplant puzzles, and explore unique character stories. Each encounter reveals a new layer of emotions while challenging the player to make tough choices about who deserves each heart, leading to multiple story outcomes.
