About The Shape Of Heart

_________________________________________
Warning

This game only supports 64 bit operating systems.


----------------------------------------------------------

is a storytelling-based puzzle game that tries to wake you up from the numbness of life.

Game Features:

  • Amazing puzzle solving based on fluid physics
  • A memoir brings you back to childhood.
  • A diary shares our feelings in games, dreams, growing up, fighting with stress, and so forth
  • Fantastic background music and sound efforts that immerse you in your memories.
  • Easter eggs in honor of many classics

Gameplay

  • Solve puzzles by leveraging of an advanced fluid physics algorism
  • Fill containers with proper fluids to open certain pathways.
  • Activate water pumps to guide the fluids to reach places that are hard reach
  • Solve the most challenging puzzles to complete achievements; make choices to progress to different endings.
  • Experience childhood games with different designs and new mechanisms
  • Each episode tells a story in a unique period of life, the choices you make will affect the plots in the following episodes.

This game uses 2D fluid physics to describe growing up stories of the main character. We have split the whole story to 5-6 episodes. The prologue starts in 2016, when the main character just get back home from work and too tired to play any games. He started to rethink where his passions are gone. Then he starts to recall his childhood memories. The next episodes are about his memories in different periods of life. Episode One describes a timeline when he was born in the 1980s, he had a brilliant childhood, and grew up little by little. The next episodes are about his memories in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. At the end, the memory ends and he wakes up in reality. In each episode, the player would have to make some side choices, which will affect side plots in the follow-up episodes. Because the whole game focuses on storytelling, we have to make some restrictions on the puzzle solving and level designing parts. Our purpose is to bring players a continuous gaming experience, without being interrupted by some puzzles. But don’t think the game is easy. We have placed all the hard parts on the side choices. This is just the same as life itself. One who chooses a special path always pays more than those choose an ordinary path.
If you think you are special, try to make your own choices.

Why we choose to release the game based on episodes?



The game adopts a relatively new gameplay mode. We hope to bring our creative works to more players, and paying by episodes would lower the doorsill for many players who want to experience the game. We will continue to update new contents free of charge in the Early Access phase. After the game is formally released, we will release more DLCs which will require a certain price. If players don’t like any of the new DLCs, they can choose not to buy them. If players still looking forward to more contents, then they could pay a relatively little money to enjoy the game and support independent studios like us.

We totally understand that games like The Shape of Heart, which gives only a few hours of gameplay, are not quite supported by the Steam refund system. But we are confident that even if you complete the game within two hours, you could feel the sincerity of our developers. The game still has much to optimize, and we are trying our best. We hope the new episodes and new games will be better with your support. Thank you again!

I finished it I guess, but I don't get it. I didn't really know what I was doing or how to go about completing the challenges. Most disappointingly, the ads made this game look story-heavy, and it is not at all. It's also suuuuper short. Disappointed.

Shape of Heart is very nostalgic and the visuals for the narration really take you down memory lane. It's an interesting concept, as the narration feels more like SoH's puzzle directions can sometimes be difficult to decipher so if you're an achievement junkie, obtaining some of the trophies can be a bit difficult (as you can easily miss them while playing through the game). The game has been in Early Access for a while now (at the time of this review, anyway), and it does indeed feel...unfinished. Either way, I still recommend trying it out due to it's uniqueness.

The Shape Of Heart is a thoughtful indie puzzle adventure that uses visual storytelling and environmental symbolism to explore the emotional transition from childhood innocence to the realities of adult life. Developed by Dragon Whisper Game and published by WhisperGames in collaboration with Deck13, the game chooses introspection over spectacle, delivering a quiet yet meaningful experience that encourages players to reflect on the emotional burdens that accumulate as people grow older. Rather than telling its story through lengthy dialogue or cinematic sequences, it relies on imaginative environments, symbolic imagery, and carefully designed puzzles to communicate its message, allowing players to interpret the narrative in their own way. At the center of the experience is a series of physics-based puzzles that evolve alongside the protagonist's emotional journey. Every level introduces interactive objects and environmental mechanics that require observation, experimentation, and logical thinking instead of fast reactions. New gameplay ideas are introduced at a comfortable pace, ensuring that players gradually master each mechanic before facing more demanding challenges. While som…

This game was pretty interesting for the duration I played. I got stuck as there are some puzzles I find challenging to figure out, but its a great game. It's basically you going down a path of nostalgia and growing up throughout life. its takes you down a path of old gaming consoles from the days and how much has evolved since, all while growing up.
