Stolen Heart is a cooperative roguelike where your mission (yes, you and your friends) is to protect… a living Heart, a fragile, unstable, essential being controlled by one of the players.

Together, you’ll navigate a laboratory ruled by AI-driven robots (yes, we’re anti-AI in games, ironically), manage the Heart’s stress through a cooperative rhythm mechanic, and survive a dizzying descent toward the Earth’s core.

Each run is a race against rising pressure, where coordination, timing, and trust decide whether you make it out alive.

A Heart to Escort… and to Play

The Heart isn’t an item, it’s a playable character: vulnerable, emotional, but crucial to the team thanks to its unique abilities.

Protect it, sync with it, and keep its emotions under control: that’s the core of the gameplay.

A Unique Cooperative Rhythm System

When the Heart gets stressed, its pulse spikes.

Players must jump into a shared music-based mini-game:

• synchronize actions,

• stabilize the heartbeat,

• prevent a full-blown meltdown.

Every beat matters, turning stress into a moment of collective tension.

An Intense Co-op Roguelike

• Fast-paced combat mixing melee and ranged

• 4 complementary classes (Heart, Assassin, Inventor, Brute)

• Essential team synergies

• Varied upgrade trees & choices every run

• Procedural generation for endless replayability

• A plunging descent deep beneath the Earth

A Dystopian Descent Into the Earth’s Core

From sterile labs to organic caverns and finally the lush chambers of the planetary Heart,
each biome tells the story of a world collapsing under its own AI systems.

An atmosphere inspired by modern themes:

• technological responsibility,

• preservation of life,

• human resilience.

Gameplay Built on Symbiosis

You’re never alone:
the Heart empowers you, and you protect the Heart.

Every role counts, trust and coordination are everything.
