Panzer Hearts

Panzer Hearts is a story-driven visual novel set in an alternate-history World War II. You play as Bastian, a young, naive soldier who has been brainwashed by the warmongering Empire. After he is wounded in battle, he gets a second chance to serve by working in a tank factory, where people connected to his past and future make him question his loyalty and his side in the war.

Story and choices

You read the story and make choices that affect the game. Bastian's relationships with the women he dates can influence his future and the course of the war. As you get to know them, you can reveal their secrets.

The home front

Rather than following the fighting on the battlefield, the story focuses on the home front. The Empire terrorizes its friendly neighbors, while young men and women it has brainwashed see its war of aggression as justified. The setting brings together ancient Egypt and totalitarian Germany.

Factory and soundtrack

You work in a factory building World War II tanks, with a special tank-building minigame. The game contains over 60,000 words, more than four hours of gameplay and an original symphony soundtrack.
