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.
An uncertain relationship between these two girls begins to form as they seek to unravel the mystery of this petrifying event.
