A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Experience university life, love, and strife!

The main girls!

Join Noah in his first year of university as he decides to overcome his heartache, pursuing either a tomboy classmate, cougar doctor, or junior-year goth! Navigate the worlds of love through differing highs and lows, with a pestering but cute best friend to supervise along the way!


Every scene is individually drawn!

Katherine drawing cozily.

The effect is a mash-up of a visual novel and an anime, where general narration is almost entirely absent since we can just show what's happening, letting dialogue take the spotlight.


All characters shown are fully-voiced!

It's free! Forever!

Not only is Rivalhearts free, but it will stay free for every new update, thanks to patrons. We plan on having 16 episodes in total, with three distinct routes that each tell their own story. That's a lot of romance to unravel!


Guided and funded by fans.

We're a small independent team who develop and self-publish Rivalhearts. Rather than sacrificing artistic liberties by receiving funding from publishers, annoying players with ads, or selling an incomplete game, development is instead fueled by generous fans who share our vision. We can't do it without them, and that makes them the boss.


Now, here's the catch...

Amber readying for a pitch!

We have a lot planned, but it isn't all out yet. The pilot alone took many months to develop, and new episodes will too. With that said, each new episode will release in order of the top-voted route, so expect substantial story updates quicker than that!
