Pivot of Hearts Launches May 21: A Queer, Non-Monogamous Visual Novel Set in São Paulo

Love doesn’t follow a single path, and neither does Pivot of Hearts, an upcoming visual novel by indie developer Dragonroll Studio. The game officially launches May 21 on Steam and itch.io, following positive reception during Steam’s Visual Novel Fest.

“We’ve been working on Pivot of Hearts for so long and now the release is suddenly around the corner. These last weeks are going by so fast, it is really hard to keep up with the roller coaster of emotions. But I’m proud of the game we’ve made, and hope it becomes a fond memory for everyone who plays it.”
— Wilson Kazuo Mizutani, Lead Developer
