Heart to Heart

Heart to Heart is a short kinetic visual novel set in Japan’s Kyushu Prefecture in 1969. Rouella Kromowidjojo is a genetic anomaly who can cure almost all forms of disease through crosstransfusion, acting as a living dialysis machine. For the next 15 hours, she connects with Rei Fukugawa, a mysterious patient whose emaciation and jaundice may conceal a more fatal condition.

The story explores evolutionary psychology, personal obligation and intersubjectivity through the side effects of exchange transfusion, a seemingly normal medical procedure involving an apparently ordinary pair of characters. The game includes 10+ high-quality CGs, a 10+ ambient soundtrack that fits each scene, and 3D CG backgrounds that change from scene to scene. It offers 3–4 hours of gameplay.
