In a world where emotions are traded as currency, you play as a 'Heartthief,' a rogue who can temporarily borrow the hearts (emotions) of others to fulfill dangerous contracts. Each contract presents moral dilemmas, relationships to navigate, and consequences that ripple through your character's life. As you venture through a dystopian cityscape filled with colorful yet broken citizens, you must decide how to use your acquired emotions to influence others, solve mysteries, and confront a shadowy enemy who seeks to control them all. The line between empathy and exploitation blurs as you ask yourself – whose heart will you take, and at what cost?
