Thanks for your interest. I am sorry it is unfortunate for you  -  but I respect that .  But for someone using  ai  for art  is  acceptable.  There are people who are coming for  a  story  . There is enough place for everyone . I wish you to find  something  that aligns with your values . 

It’s not really a traditional VN more like narrative fiction choices story . It’s Ai generated art . These are early demos to test story potential. A real game comes out on march .

Thank you so much for this comment :)) I'm so happy you gave my story a chance. It comes from a place of personal grief and hope, so I felt a responsibility to keep it not polished. I checked out your page and you have such beautiful writing talent - so deep and so simple at the same time. One of those rare moments where you can feel a person's soul through their words. So unique, beautiful and layered. If anyone's reading this, you should absolutely visit TheMetalCarrotDev's page. It's gold.

Hi everyone,

I just want to say thank you.

To everyone who played, followed, rated, or quietly spent time with Chakra Hearts — I genuinely appreciate it. Even silent playthroughs matter more than you think.

I'm shifting my focus toward finishing the full game for a complete Steam release in March. The first 3 episodes and 3.5 special will remain here for anyone who wants to explore the story, characters, and world at their own pace.

That said, I'm also listening. If there's interest in following along weekly as I complete episodes 4-9, let me know in the comments and I'll keep sharing here. Your feedback helps me know what's valuable. Otherwise, you can catch the complete story on Steam.

Nothing is off the table — this project isn't ending, it's just finding its best form.

Thank you for being here and for giving this story your time.

OMG love the concept and Atmosphere. Good luck with your game .

I agree so much. What I discovered in my analytics that most views came  from tik- tok . And not from atmospheric dramatic moments with trendy music . But actually gameplay .then tik - tok gets what you are and pushes you .Hope that helps someone. Good luck with your growth. Respect for sharing the insights .

That is so relaxing and addictive :D Great job

HOW TO CONTINUE FROM EPISODE 1 TO EPISODE 2

Short version:
You export your Episode 1 choices as a save file, then import them in Episode 2.

It takes about 1 minute.

STEP 1 — FINISH EPISODE 1

At the end of Episode 1, click:

“Download Save (.json) for Episode 2”

This creates a file called something like:
chakra-hearts-ep1-save.json

STEP 2 — OPEN EPISODE 2

From the main menu:

• Start Journey

• Choose Avatar

• Choose Name

• Select Episode 2

STEP 3 — IMPORT YOUR SAVE

In Episode 2:

1. Click Import Save

2. Choose Paste JSON

3. Open the downloaded .json file in Notepad / TextEdit

4. Copy everything inside (from { to })

5. Paste it and click Import

If the UI doesn’t update immediately, refresh once.

IF IMPORT DOESN’T WORK (DON’T PANIC)

Most common reasons:

• Only part of the file was pasted (missing the final })

• Quotes were changed by a chat app (must be plain ")

• You imported the wrong episode’s save file

If something still feels off, tell me — this system is temporary and will be fully automatic in the final release.

KNOWN ISSUE

Occasionally:
🐛 Random Bug Attack

If it happens, reload and try again.
If it keeps happening, that’s on me, not you.

FEEDBACK WELCOME

If this feels confusing or annoying, tell me.
I’m actively simplifying it while the full game is in development.

Thank you for playing Episode 2! I'm planning to release one episode per week as I finish polish and testing. Your feedback means everything - please share: - What worked for you - What didn't - Any bugs you encountered - Which romance path you're leaning toward 👀 This is my first visual novel, so I'm learning as I go. Every comment helps me make the next episode better! - BugQueen

Good luck with your game :) It is really interesting and well designed .

Real art is like this - born from real emotion and experience. Do not stop. Maybe it will not speak to everyone but resonate and change life of someone who is at the bottom. You are very brave deep and talented. Good luck and do not change .
