HEARTSHIFT
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Please remember that this game is in an early 'demo' state of development, and currently only contains a limited amount of the content it will have and WILL undergo many changes and improvements/reworks in pretty much every area of the project across multiple versions of this 'demo'.
The game currently only contains Stages 1-5, and many more will release over the course of it's development with new songs and story scenes. Even the current character art will be changed, as it's currently not in a finished state.
TO SUMMARIZE: THE GAME IS UNFINISHED. (but still awesome we hope! <3)
============
Story
Experience the story of a girl pursuing the creation of art, yet not ready to face the events that await in the timeline of this story- through the lens of a 'game' on your computer that simulates and contains an entire reality. You are not the only observer. There are no dialogue options, only the linear passage of time.
Art is a beautiful, human expression of the self.
Creation is fulfilling and gives meaning to life.
...
Obsession can go too far, and cause the decay of self.
If this reality isn't real, would you hold on to your dreams?
============
Rhythm
Hit the notes on a waveform and calm it down to stabilize this dreamy world- you don't want destructive Nightmares to occur, do you?
Every 'stage' in the story comes with a story scene followed by a song to go through!
Nightmares are caused by instability, but don't worry! The Dreamscaper Program has safety guards that prevent YOUR poor performance from causing Nightmares.
However, we can't say the same for Nightmares caused by... other sources.
Replay songs you like in the 'Rhythm Play' menu and challenge yourself to improve your scores and ranks!
With many more rhythm features and mechanics to come in future updates, there is a lot to look forward to!
Keep the Dreamscaper program under control, alright?
Broken realities are unrecoverable by us.
