Glass Hearts

Glass Hearts is a choice-driven Boys Love visual novel set in The Long River Psychiatric Hospital. You play as Kai, a young man sent there after a court deems him mentally unfit to stand trial for a murder. Your choices affect the people around you, and helping one person may harm another.

Life at the hospital

A severed body was found with signs of a struggle, but there were no witnesses or murder weapon. During questioning, Detective Peng appears to have already settled on Kai as the person to convict. Kai’s history of psychiatric treatment leads the court to send him to the hospital instead.

There, Kai shares a room with Moyu, a quiet man whom others describe as having a childlike understanding. Moyu rarely speaks or looks at Kai, but something in his eyes and the quiver of his lips unsettles Kai. The hospital also has aggressive patients, nurses and guards, leaving Kai uncertain whether he is there to get help or be forgotten.

Choices and relationships

You make dozens of choices throughout the story, and they affect how it unfolds. Three characters are romanceable: Moyu, Lian and Xiuying.
