Flex your muscles, bake cookies and save the world! Heart is Muscle is a quirky RPG-VN where every action you take moves time forward!
You have 24 hours to out-muscle the competition to become mayor.
Also, the world might be ending??
Who cares?! Let's FLEX!
Heart is Muscle is a RPG-VN hybrid that takes inspiration from the SaGa games, in which the plot continues to progress, regardless if you're there or not.
Features:
- 7 endings to find, including an unlockable epilogue
- Bake cookies (to restore HP)
- Pet a dog (by punching it). (It's not hurt, I swear)
- Talk and trade with 12 different NPCs

Hello! I made Heart is Muscle as a way to teach myself Unity and was so happy with the results I've since decided to port it to steam! I hope you have as much fun going around punching things as I did making it.
Thank you so much for looking at (and possibly playing!?) my game!
