Heartbreaker | Early-Access by @AbyzouDev (Rin Satsu)

My second game, Heartbreaker, is available in early-access alpha on Itch.io: https://abyzoudev.itch.io/heartbreaker-vn

Heartbreaker is a yuri psychological-thriller / romantic-horror visual novel, inspired by retro Sega games and 1990s shōjo anime.

[ 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 Mega Drive game ported to the Saturn". It has anime-style pixel art with illustrated cutscenes, voice acting, and an OST. Our current focus is on creating "Episode 1", the first of a planned 13.
