Players step into the role of a heart-retrieving mercenary in a dystopian world where emotions are currency, and hearts can be legally 'owned' by the powerful elite. The player must navigate a series of morally ambiguous quests to reclaim stolen hearts from corrupt officials and black-market traders while uncovering a deeper conspiracy that could change the fabric of society. Each decision impacts the player's relationships and the emotional state of the world around them, leading to multiple endings based on the hearts saved or sacrificed.
