In a whimsical yet dark world where people can trade and 'wear' each other’s hearts, players step into the shoes of Kestrel, a heart-seller's apprentice. After stumbling upon a plot that exposes a black market for emotions, Kestrel must navigate through a series of intertwined fates and hidden vendettas. The choices made will determine which heart Kestrel keeps, and which ones to return as alliances shift and new enemies emerge. Players engage in dialogue trees, treasure hunts for physical hearts, and decision-making that dramatically alters the world around them.
