Heartstop is an emotional, story-driven game, taking place in a world where every living being has suddenly stopped moving.
Play as Cora, who finds herself completely isolated by a mysterious event and is set on finding a way to bring back her friends and family. But as months pass, hope begins slipping away from her and being stuck in one's mind for so long, can be a scary thing.
While new hope is suddenly sparked when Cora meets a stranger who, as her, seems to have been unaffected by the event, new questions start arising about this girl who is not only moving but also has a completely different outlook on this life.

Hello Starling!
I've heard and seen a LOT of appraisal for your game(s). To be honest, I've yet to play them myself but nonetheless wanted to offer a German translation as I'm sure it'll up your fanbase. Unfortunately, many German players shy away from text-heavy games when not available in German..
So far, I've translated EDDA Café, and Astra's Garden, and I'm constantly looking for more small indie games I eventually grow fond of and where I think a translation might help getting more players. And now I've found your game(s)!
Let me know what you think :)
Have a good one!

This is such a beautiful game. I started playing it and as soon as Act 2 hit, I was hooked and stayed up way too late playing it! :) All your characters were extremely likable and relatable. I was sad I wasn't able to get a happy ending, and I kind of wish there was a manual save system so I could quickly try to get some other endings. Overall though, this was more than worth the $5 price tag and I would gladly give more if I could. I hope you continue to make games. We need more like this. <3
Oh, that's really great to hear! Glad that you enjoyed it - even if the ending you got wasn't happy.
I appreciate the kind words and thrilled to hear that it hooked you in. It means a lot, so thank you :)
