About Heart is Muscle
You have 24 hours to out-muscle the competition to become mayor.
Also, the world might be ending??
Who cares?! Let's FLEX!
Heart is Muscle is a RPG-VN hybrid that takes inspiration from the SaGa games, in which the plot continues to progress, regardless if you're there or not.
Features:
- 7 endings to find, including an unlockable epilogue
- Bake cookies (to restore HP)
- Pet a dog (by punching it). (It's not hurt, I swear)
- Talk and trade with 12 different NPCs
-----
Hello! I made Heart is Muscle as a way to teach myself Unity and was so happy with the results I've since decided to port it to steam! I hope you have as much fun going around punching things as I did making it.
Thank you so much for looking at (and possibly playing!?) my game!

Players praise Heart is Muscle for its charming writing, unique visual novel design with playable elements, likable characters, and heartwarming story with multiple endings, all at an excellent price point. However, some note that the UI has spotty issues and occasional glitches that detract from the otherwise delightful experience.
ENG: I don't always play everything I buy, luckily I pressed play on this one and I was pleasantly surprised, it is an example of how a Visual Novel should be, with catchy visuals, a unique interface, playable elements and different endings. Buy it, the price is a gift. ESP: No siempre tengo tiempo de jugar todo lo que compro, por suerte le di play a este y linda sorpresa me lleve, es un ejemplo de como debe ser ser una Visual Novel, con gráficos llamativos, atrapante, con una interfaz diferente, elementos jugables y diferentes finales. Cómpralo, el precio es un regalo.5 found this helpful
It's a cute and funny game, with likable characters, and I found the true ending (+epilogue) pretty heartwarming. Also the concept of a town named Swoleville electing its mayor via flex-off/whoever has the biggest muscles is just so wonderfully hilarious I had to sit back and just savor that for a moment in-game. Incredible.4 found this helpful

Borislav just lost a flexing competition to decide the mayor of Swolesville for the next year, and only has 24 hours to contest the results! As fate would have it, an explosion far off in the distance and an unconscious man in a nearby clearing herald far more important matters. Heart is Muscle is not only a scientific fact but the game's central thesis as you have to balance your time wisely on the things that actually matter in the grand scheme, or risk misleading Borislav down a darker path. The story is extra sweet and has a delightful aesthetic, though the UI is spotty in places, but is still commendable for the dev's first time working in Unity. I enjoyed it, and I believe you will too!
Fun writing, but very glitchy
