About This Game
Messy Hearts is a pixel-art visual novel about a complicated coworker friendship. Through journal-style narration, Florence unpacks romance, trauma, and some messy boundaries in a deeply personal story of mental health and heartbreak. No choices; this is a linear narrative.
Detailed Description
In this retro-inspired, pixel art visual novel, a workplace friendship begins to unravel.
Follow two coworkers as their connection deepens, blurs, and ultimately breaks. Set during a painful chapter of life, Messy Hearts explores mental health, trauma, blurry boundaries, and the complicated ways people can hurt each other.
Florence and Their Messy Life
You play as Florence, a game dev, parent, and lonely person trying to stay afloat in a life already full of stress and vulnerability.
When a married coworker starts offering unexpected friendship, Florence finds comfort in their growing connection. Their friendship slowly twists into something painful and disorienting, and a slow-motion collision unfolds that they both pretend not to see coming.
This is an all-too-common story, told through fictional characters, and inspired by painful relationships.
How to Play
Messy Hearts is a linear, single-player narrative with no branching paths or choices. Told in a comic book-style format with pixel art, the game invites players to click through Florence’s memories like pages of a journal, a text thread, or a conversation snippet.
There are no quick-time events, puzzles, or branching choices for this game.
