Chakra Hearts

Chakra Hearts – A Philosophical Sci-Fi Visual Novel (Episode  3.5 special)

What if consciousness is not a metaphor, but a system?

Chakra Hearts is a browser-based mobile friendly  episodic visual novel exploring identity, technology, and spiritual philosophy through a science-fiction lens.

This is a story-driven, contemplative experience focused on ideas, characters, and atmosphere rather than fast gameplay.

Episode 1 introduces the world, the central question, and the emotional core of the story.

Themes 

  • Consciousness and selfhood
  • Science fiction grounded in spiritual philosophy
  • Identity, connection, and inner transformation
  • A slow, reflective narrative pace      

Who this is for 

This game is for players who enjoy philosophical sci-fi, introspective stories, and experimental narrative experiences. If you’re looking for action, puzzles, or rapid progression, this is probably not your thing.

Hi everyone,

I just want to say thank you.

To everyone who played, followed, rated, or quietly spent time with Chakra Hearts — I genuinely appreciate it. Even silent playthroughs matter more than you think.

I'm shifting my focus toward finishing the full game for a complete Steam release in March. The first 3 episodes and 3.5 special will remain here for anyone who wants to explore the story, characters, and world at their own pace.

That said, I'm also listening. If there's interest in following along weekly as I complete episodes 4-9, let me know in the comments and I'll keep sharing here. Your feedback helps me know what's valuable. Otherwise, you can catch the complete story on Steam.

Nothing is off the table — this project isn't ending, it's just finding its best form.

Thank you for being here and for giving this story your time.

Wanted to say hi!

Also, that I think you’re going to go places as a creator, regardless of the format you choose.

(It’s one of those things where not everyone might understand, but eventually you have enough people who do.)

Thank you so much for this comment :)) I'm so happy you gave my story a chance. It comes from a place of personal grief and hope, so I felt a responsibility to keep it not polished. I checked out your page and you have such beautiful writing talent - so deep and so simple at the same time. One of those rare moments where you can feel a person's soul through their words. So unique, beautiful and layered. If anyone's reading this, you should absolutely visit TheMetalCarrotDev's page. It's gold.
