Zero-Sum Heart is a unique visual novel for Nintendo Switch that combines romance, school life, thriller elements, and magical realism. With a running time of about two hours and multiple endings. The game immerses you in a dreamy and haunting story where every choice can lead to a completely different outcome. Are you willing to give your heart in exchange for the love and admiration of everyone?
A surreal and enchanting world
The player takes on the role of an 18-year-old student at a magical boarding school where mystical rituals can change people’s fates. In a fateful moment, the protagonist agrees to trade his heart to a witch. In return, you get it all – adoring crowds, unprecedented power, and a brilliant love affair. But when the light fades, you realize the price you have to pay: loneliness, fake relationships, and a love that is hard to return when the heart has lost the ability to feel.
Emotional visuals and sounds
Zero-Sum Heart impresses with its vivid neo-flat illustration style, combining psychedelic elements to depict a surreal and mysterious world. Each scene is like a painting that is both beautiful and unsettling, leading players deeper into the story. The original soundtrack interweaves dreamy melodies and creepy rhythms, creating an atmosphere that is both seductive and tense, while vivid sound effects make every moment more realistic.
Choices determine fate
The game offers multiple endings, depending on how you choose and interact with other characters. Will you indulge in a passionate love affair, trade everything to keep power, or find a way to regain your lost heart and emotions? Each choice not only changes the story but also reflects how you define love, sacrifice, and happiness.
