About Fading Hearts
Your choices changes the GENRE of the story!
Almost EVERY NPC LIES to you at some point in the game!
Live a life of adventure or a normal life! A game with true choices!
An interactive story/game where you play the role of Ryou, a seemingly normal high school student in the land of Sorayama. Solve the mysteries that surround him while maintaining his friendships and saving Claire. Remain ignorant of the secrets and live a normal life or choose to learn the truth. Be careful where you put your priorities for it may prove fatal.
Everyday choose what YOU want to do. Fight monsters in the forest on Monday. Hang out with friends on Tuesday. The player gets to choose!
Player-Active Storytelling! NPCs tries to manipulate you, the player!
This is what makes gamers like this game when they don't like Visual Novels and/or Dating Sims. Normally what you get is a storyline that you can sit back and just passively absorb. In Fading Hearts...
Players can actively manipulate story mechanics once they understand how they work.
Also there are many people trying to convince you to do things that may or may not be in your best interest. How do you figure out who to trust and not trust? Will you get enough information in time or would you have go with your gut feeling when it comes does down to the wire?

Visual Novel with some RPG elements.2 found this helpful
fun visual novel lot's of choices too!
really gay
Pretty darn complex for what it is, but won't be obvious on the first play-through. There is for sure deception going on that isn't obvious from the start, and the multiple playthroughs to start getting the 'real story' could stand to be a touch more obvious, but for sure an interesting story overall.
I originally bought and played this game in April 2015. At that time, I remember liking it fine. I hadn't played many Visual Novels (VNs), and I still haven't played all that many. Today I decided to return to the game after almost seven years, and I don't know how I feel about it. First off, I just wanted to finish off the achievements that I had left (only 4 more), and it doesn't appear that those are working at all as time of this review. Not sure if people just coming to Fading Hearts will have the Steam achievements work properly, but they weren't for me (although the achievements listed in Fading Hearts itself were listed properly). Next, the story is okay. Some parts are written well, if not totally cliched, and by just skimming this time around, I could see that there were contradictions between the choices I made during the game and the endings, as other reviews mentioned. So, if that bothers you, then be aware that there isn't much else to do in a VN. Finally, there is some variety, such as combat and some subplots, but they're nothing noteworthy. In fact, I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to level Ryou, the protagonist, for no reason as it didn't seem to affec…
Click click click. Click click click. Three minutes of clicking text before I got my first choice. How did I ever get 7 hours out of this boring dating sim/time management game? Another dating sim with Anime girls set in a school. Another visual novel with endless minutes of boring reading before you get to make a choice. The time management involves far too much effort, though I found it fun. Skip this unless you like reading school girl dating romances for middle school morons. Will be buried at the bottom of my virtual bookshelf.
