Clairvoyant Hearts is a (deep breath) 2D, anime-inspired, open world, action-RPG set in a modern day metropolis. Take on the role of Mack, a slightly reckless young lady, as she explores the big city of Merrygo, making friends and enemies along the way.

AREN'T THEY JUST CUTE TOGETHER? (Mack sprite by Binoftrash, Goobie sprite by Dibur)The Story, Sorta-TL;DR Version:After the sudden disappearance of her parents over a decade ago and living in the custody of a hateful aunt, Mack decides it's time to pack her bags and start building her own path in life. On the night of her 20th birthday, Mack runs away from home and catches the midnight train to Merrygo City to temporarily crash with her childhood friend Ellie. However, her trip takes an immediate turn for the weird when she encounters a friendly green slime creature on the train. On her adventures (and misadventures) around Merrygo, Mack will make friends and enemies, learn to stand for herself, and slowly uncover the dark secrets of the city - as well as the truth behind the disappearance of her parents.
Features:- Open World Storyline - The city of Merrygo and its inhabitants "live and breathe", changing and growing based on the player's decisions. You influence the direction and progression of the story! We're aiming to make as much of the city as interactive as possible.
- Hybird Action/RPG Battle System - A dynamic, fast-paced approach to the classic action-RPG battle system that utilizes both the keyboard and mouse, and allows multiple items and skills to be used.
- The "Buddy System" - A colorful cast of characters inhabits Merrygo City, each with his/her own unique personality, quirks, and role in the story. Mack's relationships with these characters are determined by the player (similar to Persona 4's Social Link System), and heavily influence the story. Can you say multiple endings?!
- Day/Night System - Mack is notorious for being able to stay awake for prolonged periods of time.
