Whose Heart Is It Anyway?

In a dystopian near-future where emotions are monetized and hearts are literal assets, you play as a heart-thief named Charlie. Every day, you navigate the morally ambiguous underbelly of 'Emotion Exchanges', a market where people trade their feelings for status or wealth—or just plain survival. In this interactive text-based game, players choose between wheeling and dealing for emotional currency, embarking on side quests to 'retrieve' hearts, and striking deals with quirky characters who each have a warped relationship with their feelings. As you uncover the deeper conspiracy behind the heart trade, your choices directly affect the emotional landscape of the world around you, leading to multiple endings that question the value of authenticity and the cost of love.
