Damn it. Good story, decent writing and little to no engrish. Then suddenly, BOOM, unexpected sandbox! You can dress it however, but is a sandbox. Need to add that to the tags, please.
Thank you for your note. I added the tag. It's true I forgot about that and it starts at week 2. I wanted the first part of the game to be sort of a prologue to give you time to meet the characters, not just throwing you into the game whatsoever. But this is the way I want to develop the game from now on. I am glad to hear you enjoy it so far. I apologize for minor grammatic errors but as I explained above, I am not a native speaker.

Greetings everyone,

just a short announcement, I have been informed that the Discord invitation is invalid for some reason. I have fixed it now so if you want to join the Discord from the link on the main page, you should be free to do so. Contact me if there are some more problems, please. I am sorry for inconveniences.

Well, as I said, "little to no engrish". That means that there wasn't enough to detract from the story, so it was a good thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the 0.2 wide release for all of you to download!

It was a bumpy ride, no doubt about it, but I am really happy with the result. Aside from adding new content, I did a huge grammar fix of the entire game using an AI software, and I am very happy with the overall result, so I hope you will be too. In order to present these improvements to you as soon as possible, I have postponed five planned events to the 0.3 release, which will surely be bigger than this one. But for now, here's the list of new content in the game:

  • over 35k words
  • 16 new events
  • new secondary character
  • huge grammar fixes, bug fixes
  • new soundtrack
I am really looking forward to your reviews of the new content and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. I can promise you, as you can see from these new screenshots, it's going to be an emotional rollercoaster and it's certainly not the end! Thank you for your endless support and interest in this game, which keeps me going and pushing through. :)

I Have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised at this. Each character's stories interconnect in a natural form and it doesn't feel rushed.
A few characters also seem genuinely scummy, and quite easy to dislike. Well done. I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad you're enjoying the game so far. Your support is the primary thing that motivates me to keep working on it.

From the very first moment I started developing the game, my goal was to offer a wide range of characters so that everyone could find something they liked. The same goes for their respective arcs and the main story, where I want to introduce and gradually intertwine these stories together. I've seen too many stories rushed and arcs wasted, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Of course, I'm still new at this and I can't guarantee that it won't happen at some point, but as it is now, I have plenty to tell for each of them :)

I seem to be stuck. The game says I have a new email, but it doesn't appear. I can't find any other events to trigger, so I'm guessing it's the email that I need to continue.

Hello. I am running the part of the script and everything seems okay to me. What you should get is an e-mail from Lilly. The message before that should appear only under the condition you saw all other events. I am not sure what might be causing the problem, but for now, I am providing you and everyone who ran into this problem with a save from that position. Just add it to "saves" within your game folder and you should be fine.

Solution number two is, if you have RenPy, to open the game code and under "define.rpy", change the value "lilly_em1" to "True". By doing so and restarting the game from the save directly before that, you should be able to skip the e-mail read which is conditional for continuing the game and then the event with Lilly should trigger normally in the evening. You would basically be bypassing marking the e-mail as read which would change the value to True automatically.

Thank you for letting me know about this problem. It's strange, though, since everything seems to be working on my end, even after downloading the game files and testing it directly from the .exe file along with another player. I honestly don't know what might've happened with your save.

(Also, Lilly's email has a text bug, a missing paragraph after control that I didn't notice. This will be fixed in the next release, I am sorry about that.)

Greetings everyone. I am 99 percent sure I was finally able to determine the source of the problem Daswer1 informed me about.


If you're running into a problem with Lilly's email not appearing on your computer before the "Brainstorming Over a Donut" event (main events) even if you got the message informing you about it, please make sure you've completed Sofia's first event. This is a mistake I made when re-designing the original event order and didn't realize it. I will make sure it's fixed with the next release. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

While the story is interesting (and dark), the art style is very bland.
Hi friend, thanks for your comment. Yes, I realize that when it comes to the art part of the development, I still have a lot to improve on and I am constantly trying to learn. When I started this project, I had some experience writing novels, but literally zero experience with CharaStudio and art of any kind. The learning curve in this area is very steep for me, and I know that I will probably never be able to reach the level of mastery that some of the other developers have attained. But as I said, I am trying to improve every day and with every new release, but it's a long way to go. I hope that by then some of you will be interested enough in the story to forgive me for my lack of skills in the art department. But if you don't, I won't hold it against you.

Fatal flaw after that Chelsea bitch broke Sofia's arm she should not be showing up in the usual places like nothing happened.. for example the gym on weekends lifting weights.

Hello, I replied to you on Discord already. Thank you for notifying me, because only thing that happened is a game bug. It will be resolved in the upcoming release.

Greetings everyone.

Change of Hearts 0.3 will be released on June 29th.

You can look forward to 27 new events, including the introduction of a new secondary character, a new investigation event, and once again, a total emotional rollercoaster.

I want to sincerely thank you for keeping me in the development process despite everything I have been dealing with lately. You're the main reason we're standing here together right now. None of this would have happened without your support, and I will do everything in my power to repay you with the best product possible.

Hello. Harem path, possibly yes. I am not sure yet, since it's long way in the future but the possibility is open.
NTR probably no, but I can confirm there's a plan for several group scenes between certain characters.
When you know for sure if there is going to be a harem ending, tell us and then I will try the game, until then, I prefer to wait.

I hope that the only one who has sex with the LIs is the MC and that any scene that includes guys other than the MC can be avoided completely.

Hello, my friend. I respect your decision, of course. At this point in the game, it's really hard to say what will happen in the future, but the main plan is to eventually give all the characters a love arc, sooner or later, depending on the overall story development. Parts of it are still a mystery even to me, as I let the story itself guide me at some moments.

As for the second part, I can confirm that the only sexual intercourse will be between the LIs and the MC, and in some cases the girls will have their own romantic relationships or they will agree to a polygamous relationship, because my plan from the beginning was to give some of the girls deep relationships with each other, starting long before the actual story arc.

The truth is that I prefer harem without lesbian content. In fact, my preferred option is to ignore LIs who have a previous lesbian relationship. If the only way to get some kind of harem is through lesbian relationships between the LIs, I'm not going to be interested in the game.

Well, in the end it's up to everyone's preferences. I know I can't make it perfect for everyone. But like I said, I am still keeping the exact long-term relationship development open at this point, and I am also taking your reviews into account when deciding on the next part of the character's arc, so everything could end up being completely different. But that is still a long way in the future because I am taking a slow arc development route for now as I don't want things to feel rushed and unnatural. But there will definitely be multiple romantic relationships between the MC and LIs in the future.

I hope you'll give the game a chance at some point, but even if you don't, thank you for your interest.
