About This Demo

Romantic, fantastical, and eerie, Zero-Sum Heart is a coming-of-age story about love.

Enter a magical boarding school on our protagonist's eighteenth birthday as she makes a monumental decision and derails her life.

A ritual sacrifice got her everything she ever wanted: an adoring crowd (faceless), a newfound power (dangerous), and a whirlwind romance (one-sided). But without a heart in her chest, how could she love anyone back? Does she even need to?

  • A short 2-hour story with multiple endings, blending genres of romance, teen drama, thriller/horror, and magical realism.

  • Vibrant and psychedelic hand-drawn illustrations that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.

  • A witchy, sinister, and groovy original soundtrack.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Zero-Sum Heart contains visual depictions of self-mutilation, violence, and gore, although not particularly graphic due to the non-realistic art style. The story also contains limited depictions of stalking, toxic familial and romantic relationships, and murder.
