Heartbreaker - Episode 1 [Early-Access]

[ S Y N O P S I S ]

In 1996, college student Tanta wants her new Kouhai's heart... by any means.

Each Episode, Tanta must protect Kouhai from a new rival courting her.
There are many ways to plot against your rivals - Will you Sabotage their budding relationship? Befriend them to win their favour? Stalk your rival and Murder them? Something more... extreme? It's up to you.
And what's with the mysterious person trading you favours for sordid info?

This game is inspired by early VNs & Sega games, meant to resemble "a Saturn port of a Mega Drive game".
It has anime-style pixel art, illustrated cutscenes, voice acting, and a 16-bit OST.
The current focus is on creating "Episode 1", the first of a planned 13.
