In a world where emotions can be extracted and transferred between individuals, players take on the role of Max, a cynical heart-harvester who reluctantly becomes embroiled in a high-stakes game of emotional blackmail. After botching a routine heart extraction, Max realizes they possess the heart of the infamous Crime Empress, whose emotions hold the key to controlling the city's underworld. Players must navigate a web of betrayals, alliances, and absurd situations, making choices that affect relationships with quirky characters like the overly optimistic enforcer, the heartbroken bartender, and a rival harvester with a flair for the dramatic. With each decision, the line between love and hate blurs, making players question whose heart they really want to keep — and if their own can survive the chaos.
