In a world where emotions literally manifest as physical objects, players take on the role of an Emotion Merchant, traveling through a bustling steampunk city. Each heart represents a unique, tumultuous story from its owner’s life. Players barter for hearts, engage in emotional negotiations, and thread through a tapestry of dramatic choices that affect both their own heart and the hearts of those around them. With a combination of humor and poignant storytelling, players must decide which hearts to keep, sell, or even sacrifice to save an impending emotional crisis, all while uncovering deeper connections with the city's diverse inhabitants.
