In a world where emotions are currency, players take on the role of Elysia, a 'Heart Trader' who can trade hearts—literal, glowing orbs that contain the emotions of various characters—through a bustling emotional black market. As Elysia navigates this society, she must make choices that will impact her relationships, solve emotional conflicts, and confront her own buried feelings. Players engage in witty banter, moral dilemmas, and unexpected twists, using text commands to negotiate deals, uncover secrets, and even wrestle with the ethics of manipulating emotions for profit.
