Overview:
Hearts in the Shadows is a psychological visual novel for adults that delves into the complexity of the human mind, emotional bonds shaped by trauma, and the fine line between the desire to protect and the need to control. Through a deep and emotionally intense narrative, the player takes on the role of Trevor (name can be changed), a final-year psychology student whose calm demeanor hides a dark past. This past is what drives him to train his mind meticulously to observe, analyze, and manipulate. Set in a university environment filled with broken relationships, secrets, and young adults battling their own inner demons, Trevor will not only study human behavior. He will put it to the test. Each character he meets carries their own pain, wounds, and emotional void. And Trevor, driven by his obsession with control, will try to fill them in his own way. What begins as a story of companionship and emotional connection may evolve into disturbing dynamics, where the player must question their own choices. Will you bring their hearts out of the shadows, or will you sink with them?
