About Our Dark Heart
Our Dark Heart is a 2D top-down pixel art narrative horror adventure game that draws inspiration from Alan Wake, Firewatch, and the works of Mike Flanagan. Explore a beautiful, handcrafted estate laced with themes of grief, loss, and trauma.
Tormented by the death of her mother, Beverly returns to her childhood home to ready it for resale. In the process she finds a letter from her mother that stirs things long buried and forgotten.
“Hello, Luv. I’m sorry I hid my illness from you. I didn't want to burden you with it. I love you so much, and I didn’t want you to face this alone, but life is unfair. I tried to protect you…Take the key. You know what it opens. Purge our home of the past, Luv. Be strong. You’re almost free.”
Step into a world of psychological survival horror, where nothing is as it seems. Explore a pixel-art nightmare full of puzzles, secrets, and dangers. Choose your words wisely, as they can save you or doom you. Sometimes, lying is the only option.
