In a world where emotions are physical objects and hearts can be traded, stolen, or even accidentally swapped, players assume the role of a cynical ward of a decrepit emotional black market known as the 'Empathy Exchange.' With the ability to interact with characters whose hearts are aflame with wild desires or dormant in apathy, you must navigate bizarre negotiations, epic confrontations, and dysfunctionality as you try to reclaim your own heart — which, unbeknownst to you, is currently being used in a high-stakes emotional poker game. Your choices impact your relationships and the fate of the community, leading to multiple possible endings and a chance to curtail the chaos or let it spiral out of control.
