You are fast asleep.

You are drifting through the darkness: a seemingly endless abyss from which there is no escape.

There is nothing but the darkness: leagues and fathoms and feet of it...

But you were a person once, you know, before you found yourself in this sorry state. You had a name — perhaps you had several names — and thoughts of your own; feelings, too.

You had friends. A family, perhaps.

You had a life.

You might have had many lives.

You are one, yet you are many. Fragmented, your past dances behind your eyelids like shards of glass: sharp to the touch, and yet...

Will you reach out to touch these broken bits and pieces of your past?

Do you dare?

I just finished at 3AM but this was really good! I genuinely loved it and couldn’t put it down. I’ve liked your visual novels since Asphyxia which I had read when I was younger & going through StuffTM. I think you’re very skilled at telling poignant stories and Glass Heart is definitely one of them. I also freaking love Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and easily consider it one of my favorite classic novels, and I could definitely feel the inspiration for this story. This was really really fun to read. I wish you luck on the Game Jam!<33

Hi! I would love to play this game for my YouTube let's play channel. Would that be okay with you? Wanted to check just in case!

Yes, that's totally fine! Feel free to play as much as you want. There's no r18 content or any explicit imagery so the whole thing should be fine to lp without any issues.

I was wondering if you were going to release something for this VN jam and I could not be happier

Ebi-hime coming in clutch with another master piece. It will always impress me how often you come up with different stories to tell. Truly immaculate 🤌

Sorry to ask, but is it in Brazilian Portuguese? I'm sure I'll love this game ^^

No, it's only in English.
