More about this game
Heartlines is a visual novel where you navigate a story of romance and travel. The core loop involves reading dialogue, interacting with props like a phone or coffee cups, and making choices that affect your relationships with five characters: Akari, Sora, Hana, Yui, and Reina. Some dialogue options are locked until you reach a specific affinity level, which caps at 20 points per character. The story progresses through chapters on a map, ending when you finish the available routes.
Tips
- Pay attention to the characters' personalities; choosing to sit beside Akari or asking Sora about her sketchbook grants up to 2 affinity points for that specific person.
- If you want to read without clicking, toggle the autoplay button to automatically advance the text after a 1500-millisecond delay between each line.
- Check the Story Map frequently to see your affinity meters out of 20 points, and see which branch nodes like Rainy Errand are unlocked.
FAQ
- How do I unlock new chapters?
- You unlock new chapters by completing the previous core nodes, like finishing the Off to Hawaii chapter to unlock the First Dinner chapter on your map.
- Can I go back and change my choices?
- You can use the back arrow button to return to previous dialogue lines, but any narrative choices you have already made remain permanently saved in your progress.
- What happens if I don't have enough affinity for a choice?
- If a choice requires more trust than you currently have, it appears grayed out with a lock icon. You must build more affinity with that character to select it.
