Heartbound v1.0.9.632 - early access

Heartbound - Heartbound is a non-traditional role-playing game about a boy, his dog, secrets, and sanity. In this unique adventure, you follow characters Lore and Baron as they travel through time and space, uncovering mysteries along the way. The combat system stands apart from typical RPGs by replacing random battles and conventional mechanics like levels or experience points with a series of mini-games that change based on your relationships and past actions. Each enemy encounter offers a one-of-a-kind challenge, and defeating foes doesn’t end in death but instead unlocks their memories, leaving you to decide how the story unfolds.
