After almost 2 years of development, I decided I couldn't keep the game to myself any longer, and needed player feedback, so I decided to release it as an early-access alpha build.

Heartbreaker is a romantic-horror / psychological-thriller visual novel with yuri themes, inspired by retro Sega games and 1990s anime.
In it, you play as Tanta Aiko, a 20-year-old college student in the fictional town of Sanseto, Osaka, as she struggles to keep her love interest "Kouhai" safe from any other girl who gets in the way. All the while aided by a mysterious benefactor who provides tools & services in return for sordid information.
To this end, you select from multiple "Plots", schemes for eliminating your rival that each tell a different aspect of that rival's story.
Ultimately, I plan to produce 13 "Episodes" to tell the complete story, each with approximately 6 or 7 Plots.

This current build only contains one Plot in Episode 1, and many features are still placeholders.
I would be very grateful to receive feedback & suggestions on how to improve the game.

The game comes with a free demo where all nudity (and later violence / gore) is censored, and a paid uncensored version.
It is strictly for 18+ players only due to featuring dark, adult themes that some players may find extremely disturbing.
