Independent developer Shiva has created the Melted Bubblegum Studio to produce an adult RPG titled Crystal Hearts.

Crystal Hearts begins at night, with the protagonist Yuri on his way to a shack a lengthy distance away from the village. Yuri is an orphan raised by a farmer and is childhood friends with Parvati, the girl that happens to be living in the shack. Due to Parvati’s initiative, things become intimate, but afterwards she requests that Yuri leave and preferably doesn’t seek her again in the future. More tragedy strikes on his way back, however, as Yuri sees the village burning in the distance.

The game is being developed by Shiva, who created Melted Bubblegum Studio for that purpose. For now, he’s the sole developer working on the project, but hopes to expand his team in the future. His goal is to explore ways of spreading art and ideas, and create an immersive story.

The current demo of Crystal Hearts allows you only to explore the barn and its surroundings, in the fashion of 2D side-scrollers, and participate in one cutscene. In the future, the game will contain a larger world, and feature a turn-based combat system inspired by the Final Fantasy series. You can find out more about the game from the official description and sample screenshots below:
