Spirited Heart Deluxe

Save/Load simulator. The stat raising system is broken af, often you will fail the dice 'mini-game', which means no money. Goddesses ask for random title, which means no point for raising specific stats until you're 23. Characters encounters are completely random. Hence, save/load simulator, because that is 90% of this game. Music is practically non-existent, few tracks that are here are mediocre. Writing is not the best and characters range from annoying to boring. Graphics are charming, but there's not much of them. Overall, it is very mid game and the price is ridiculous, so I cannot recommend it.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

I played this games years and years ago when it first came out, again when it came on Steam and then again this year (2026) to achievement hunt while I was between hyperfixations. There's a lot of nostalgia here for me, but I do like the overall set up of this game. I like the random dice rolls for the job functions, I like the wide range of options for jobs and romances. What I don't like are the female options for romance. I can get past the jarring art difference between the main characters, the men, and the later addition of the women. But the women all seem to have very bland personalities, especially compared to the men. Yes, all options are stereotype, but the women don't seem to have the same love put into them as when the game first came out. I was so excited when WLW options were added to this game, and I am disappointed (as a lesbian myself!) that they all feel tacked on without the same level of love and investment. Overall it's a fun little game, but it falls short as a WLW dating sim for me.

How nice that I got this game with a key and for free. Such a cheesy plot and you can say that there is just NO plot. Simply the execution of some monotonous tasks. The beauty of the girls does not save the situation
