Pivot of Hearts Build 18571586

Pivot of Hearts is a non-monogamous romance visual novel set in the vibrant city of São Paulo. You step into the shoes of Wén Xiàn, a Taiwanese-Brazilian game developer who’s spent months in isolation-and is now ready to open his heart again. As the narrative unfolds, Wén reconnects with Etsuko, a figure from his past, and sparks fly with his new coworker, Cauã. Along the way, you’ll dive into a tabletop RPG adventure, attend heavy metal concerts, indulge in magical-boy daydreams and navigate the messy beauty of young-adult life.

Key strengths
- Deep, character-driven story: Over 100,000 words of sweet, nerdy romance that handles non-monogamy with care and realism.
- Tarot-based card game: A simple mechanic woven into key moments, offering a strategic twist without overwhelming the story.
- Replay value: Five different endings plus Steam achievements that encourage you to explore every path.
- Art and music: Handcrafted illustrations by Lívia Santos and an original soundtrack by Livia Maki Yoshikawa create an intimate, atmospheric world.
- Accessibility: Fully available in English and Portuguese, with a toggle to disable any flashing light sequences.
What to expect
Expect roughly eight hours of gameplay across one playthrough, punctuated by cinematic art and choices that genuinely matter. The card game segments are satisfying diversions but can occasionally slow the narrative pace. Fans of romance visual novels and players curious about polyamory will find fresh, honest perspectives here.
In the end, Pivot of Hearts is a thoughtful blend of heartfelt storytelling and light gameplay innovation. If you’re looking for a mature romance that challenges conventional tropes and rewards curiosity, Wén Xiàn’s journey is well worth your time.
