About The HeartBeat

Year 2077, New Dunk



Citizens of dunk have forgotten the glory time with Mother God Buho. Instead, they have betrayed their believe by transferred their flesh body to mechanical parts, all senses are replaced by biomechanical signal transmission with the help of Molig, the oligarch of biomechanical technology company. While people enjoying their pleasure time as “the cyber-Ed”, they have no anticipation of the Armageddon of digital virus that comes from nowhere.

And You Are the Mayor Of This City.

After ten days of work, your exhausted heart had finally bursted.

Your secretary arrived on time to bridged a mechanical heart for you to avoid you from endless darkness. Hold your heart tight, extend your life and the fate of this city until your last breathe.

Maintain life



At the time of life and death, you need to listen to the rhythm of the music, observe the prompts on the screen, and press your heart regularly, so that you can survive the world.

Publication policy



The city is looking forward to your voice and you must make a choice. Is it going against universal morality to seek stability, or is it to pray for empathy in this indifferent age?
In view of your inconvenience, your rigorous and serious secretary will read the contents of the file for you.

Make a decision



Not everything can be predicted by a neural network. Your response to every voice may affect the future of you and the city.

A really cool take on the rhythm genre! See how you fare as a dying mayor when you have 5 minutes to live and need to make hard decisions while keeping yourself alive to make them. I wouldn't necessarily rec it to folks that don't like stress, but if you're a fast reader or can pick out key words and make decisions quickly while pumping the heart in your hands to the beat, give this a shot! P.S. I forgot you can change the mode so if you want a bit less stress, go into the settings and switch them before starting the game! Might make it a bit less stressful though I'll be honest... i never touched them so I'm unsure what they change but given one of the options is IMMORTAL in all caps like that, I think it's pretty safe to say the stress gets dulled or eliminated. XD

I love the originality of game's gameplay and how realistic it feels. It's so lifelike, it makes me feel something. It gets me every time I hear the death beep in the game over scene. It melts my brain every time I need to make a decision while I've only read half of the text. It awakened something inside me, that always has been there, but I didn't notice that. It made me appreciate that I don't have to rule peoples lives and choose between equally horrible options which will affect the whole city. But it's all familiar to me: pandemic has definitely messed up my metal health, and now I'm experiencing the war for the independence of my country while also trying to make unpleasant decisions which determine my further life and cannot be delayed. It's all not new to me, and that's why it resonated with my so much, but... thank Mother Buho, I never had to manually pump my own blood in order to survive. And hopefully will never need to. It's crazy how the Mayor overworked himself to such a bad state... This city must indeed be very important for him. I love how literal the metaphor of surviving for the city to live is.
