Hi! I've been working on this game for five years and finally released it last week. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, so I wanted to share it with the Itch.io community! I built it using Phaser, a JavaScript game engine. Please enjoy the game and share with anyone who might benefit!

Summary

Can you get through a week in the life of a modern black woman? SweetXheart (pronounced “sweetheart”) is a visual novel about microagressions. The game follows Kara, a 19-year-old Black girl from the Bronx seeking success in life, school, and her career. Over five fictional days, players experience the highs and lows of juggling work, school, race, and gender.
