Rivalhearts
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
University life, love, and strife!
Beginning university with a major heartache, Noah miraculously meets a tomboy classmate, a gorgeous doctor, and a junior-year goth all in one day. He soon finds that the love story he seeks won't be trouble-free, starting with his cute best friend who's ready to interfere!
Playable in English & Español!
Most scenes individually drawn!

It's a visual novel and an anime mash-up effect, where almost every scene is a unique illustration! Luckily, file optimization has come a long way, so don't worry about the storage implications.
Fully-voiced characters!
It’s one thing to read a fun romance, and another to hear every laugh, blush, and awkward misstep brought to life with quality voices!
Forever free, guided and funded by fans.
We're a small independent team who develop and self-publish Rivalhearts. Rather than making players the product, development is fueled by generous fans who share our vision on Patreon.
Now, here's the catch...

We have a lot planned, but only the beginning is out so far, and each episode takes many months to develop. If you're fine with waiting for the rest, we thank you for your patience and recommend you play!
So, what are you waiting for?!
Come try the Rivalhearts journey of campus and romance!
