cool story bro

Thank you so much for playing, and I really appreciate you sharing what stood out to you most!

Thank you so much <3

Thank you for playing! Yeah... unfortunately I was a bit of a weeaboo / koreaboo around that age. Gladly I grew out of it. I wanted to be honest about that part of my life even though it wasn’t pretty; it was part of finding myself!

Oh no! Looks like there's some kind of issue with the HTML export from Construct 3. I'll see if I can re-upload it. GRRRRR.

I am working to get a downloadable version up! Thank you!

<3 Thank you!

Unfortunately, Kara doesn't have positive romantic experiences in this game :(

But IRL she gets there... later! :)

<3 :'3

This is good feedback, thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

She indeed does, it turns out she's quite an anxious person :3

Hi! I've been working on this game for five years and finally released it last week. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, so I wanted to share it with the Itch.io community! I built it using Phaser, a JavaScript game engine. Please enjoy the game and share with anyone who might benefit!

Summary

Can you get through a week in the life of a modern black woman? SweetXheart (pronounced “sweetheart”) is a visual novel about microagressions. The game follows Kara, a 19-year-old Black girl from the Bronx seeking success in life, school, and her career. Over five fictional days, players experience the highs and lows of juggling work, school, race, and gender.
