Hi hi!! After way too many days of the team staring at the screen, yelling at code, and emotionally bonding with fictional men in mascot suits, Heartstop Tour is finally out. it’s real. You can play it. This bear is no longer in development hell.
It’s a romantic visual novel about quitting your job after someone insults your favorite mascot, getting mistaken for a tour guide by a hot tourist, and making increasingly bad life decisions for the sake of feelings. There are two love interests:
Julian: a dangerously charming tourist with golden retriever energy and zero impulse control
Riku: a tired mascot performer who’s allergic to emotions but carries a plushie in his bag “for emergencies”
You spend four days fake-guiding your way through the city and accidentally catching feelings. There's romance, karaoke, emotional breakdowns in storage rooms, and a bear named Comfort Kuma who might understand you better than your friends do.
~20k words of spiraling and soft moments
2 romance routes
multiple endings
CGs, custom UI, original music, and a lot of bear-themed nonsense
MC with choosable pronouns
Riku's route will be available starting July 7th! Currently only Julian is out due to time constraints for otome jam.
Dev thoughts
This game started as a joke about quitting your job over a mascot, and then it turned into something kind of personal.
Please feel free to share screenshots, fave endings, whatever. Your support means so much and helps me make more weird, messy stories like this.
And of course: thank you to the amazing team who made this possible.
