Game developer Wén Xiàn gets an unexpected shot at love—but this time, the rules are different. Can he break free from old expectations and discover a deeper happiness? In Pivot of Hearts, a visual novel celebrating non-monogamous relationships, every choice you make reshapes his journey. Play your cards wisely—love isn’t always a straight path.
Pivot of Hearts Overview
Pivot of Hearts is a romance visual novel with a twist—love doesn’t follow just one path. Set in vibrant São Paulo, it follows Wén Xiàn, a Taiwanese-Brazilian game developer who’s spent too long hiding from the world. Just as he starts opening up again, two people shake up his life: Etsuko, a ghost from his past, and Cauã, a new colleague who surprises him at every turn.
Between late-night TTRPG sessions, chaotic metal concerts, and maybe even a little magical-boy daydreaming, Wén will have to rethink everything he thought he knew about love. And with a simple card game woven into the story, every choice you make could lead him closer to happiness—or send him spiraling back into old habits.
Will he play his cards right, or let fear keep him from something real?
