Overview

Heart Problems is a 3DCG visual novel for players who like slow-burn family-household romance with a corruption undertone. The tone stays intimate and character-focused rather than plot-heavy.

Story

After losing his parents, the protagonist moves in with his uncle Davie. As he grows older, he starts noticing the three women who share the house with him in a way he never did before, and their dynamic begins to shift.

Gameplay

Play as the protagonist through a series of chapters told mostly through dialogue and rendered scenes, making choices that shape how his relationships with the women in the house develop over time. Progress unlocks new scenes and story beats rather than open exploration, with an in-game gallery to revisit completed content.

Features

Rendered 3DCG scenes with animated sequences
A cast built around three central women sharing one household
Gallery mode for reviewing unlocked scenes
Adjustable visual filters for image tone and clarity

Installation

Extract and run.

Changelog

New chapter added: Chapter 10.
Gallery updated with all new scenes from Chapter 10.
Unlock button included
Improved visual quality in the compressed version. After testing, the best resolution for image quality vs file size is 1286x724.
New visual filters added. You can now adjust saturation, brightness, contrast, and tint (cooler/bluer or warmer/orange tones) from the Preferences menu.
New "Auto" speed option available in Chapter 10 animations. (Plays animations at randomized intervals for a more natural effect.)
Image transitions can no longer be skipped by spamming clicks. (You can still use Ctrl to skip normally.)
Fixed a bug that caused animations to play too fast on monitors with high refresh rates. (Currently fixed for Chapter 10 animations—coming to the rest soon.)
New memory usage options added to improve performance:Low ≈ 2GB RAMMedium ≈ 4GB RAMHigh ≈ 6GB RAM (This helps to store more images in ram to avoid lag in transitions and between animation transitions.)
New role system for Amelie. For example, if you set her role as “mom” a line like “Hi [relation] Amelie” will appear as just “Hi, Amelie.” If you chose “Aunt,” it would show “Hi, Aunt Amelie”.
New “Default” option added in settings-audio, which resets all audio levels to the developer’s recommended values.
The Android version now finally has a custom app icon (no more default Ren’Py icon).
