Scenes from the Heart

Scenes from the Heart is a visual novel about a lonely, mature boy who struggles to connect with others because of his superiority complex. He befriends Chisaki Namichi, who was bullied in elementary school for her unusual eye color, and Konaka Motomi, a new transfer student with her own quirks. Together, they discover improv theater and work on a visual novel demo.

Story

Konaka introduces improv theater to Chisaki and the player character. Inspired by it, Chisaki starts a long-dreamed-of visual novel project involving the player and Konaka. The group faces conflicts during development but completes its demo and wins an award, while a menacing shadow hints at challenges ahead. Part 1 serves as a prologue introducing the setting and main characters; a separate Part 2 is planned to explore their everyday lives further and branch the story at a certain point.

Choices and discoveries

The story has two endings and takes about two hours to complete. Its title-screen background changes at certain check points as you progress. You can look for two Easter eggs hidden in the story and visible in the backgrounds, unlock achievements and view them in a gallery. The game also includes two image galleries and an OST music player, as well as real-life philosophies and full English voice acting.
