About the Game

THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY... IS IT?

SWEETHEART is a dating/breakup/existential crisis simulator where you must survive the end of a 15-year toxic relationship with your high school sweetheart turned-celebrity popstar, who has mutated into a monster born from the delusion of your childhood dreams.

Play as Gabe, the invisible boyfriend of Skylar Maxine - once, a nobody girl-next-door, now a rich and famous pop star.

After leaving everyone and everything from their hometown, Gabe and Skylar have finally ended up in in the Hollywood mansion of their dreams...

But after 15 years as a couple, their dream of fame, fortune, and forever isn't going as planned.

Pack what remains of your belongings from your old life, and escape your childhood dreams.

Run, hide, and survive as Skylar mutates into a spider-like entity, hunting us through the dark.

Navigate a shifting labyrinth as the ruins of your house warp into liminal spaces, memories, and secrets.

Explore a dark reflection on a generation raised to wish upon the child-stars on TV in the early 2000s era.

KEY FEATURES:

  • 3+ hour story-rich experience through comedy, horror, and a subversive coming of age tragedy.

  • Expansive variety of locations from a celebrity beachside dream house, to the psychological labyrinth of heartbreak.

  • Original popstar soundtrack by Skylar Maxine.

  • Retro-inspired art style with limited motion capture and voice acting.

  • Controller Support with Haptic Feedback.
