Welcome To Sweet♥︎Heart Archives, A Visual Novel/dating Sim Developed For The Web Where You, A New

ID: Art of a dark red title screen with pale yellow accents for a fictional game called Sweet Heart Archives! The tail of the S in Archives is stylized like looping tape coming from the H in Archives, which is stylized like a cassette tape. The background is a pattern of red hearts overlaid by two dark reels, making the screen resemble a cassette tape. Amid the title text is a Japanese “translation:” クモが食べている, or “kumo ga tabete iru.” Below the title text is a set of options overlaid on a pattern like book spines: “load game,” “settings,” and “help.” “Load game” is selected.

ID: Art of a gameplay scene featuring Jon in the head archivist’s office, talking to the player character. The room is warm and reddish-brown, with a desk and a bookshelf. Jon looks unimpressed as he gesticulates, but he’s blushing. His dialogue box reads: “I-I'm sure you appreciate the effort our department is putting into bringing you up to speed. Tedious, yes, but hardly as damaging as letting you run amok untrained, especially with files like ours... no thanks to my predecessor.”

ID: Art of a gameplay scene featuring Martin in the break room, talking to the player character. The room is a cool green, with appliances, a bulletin board, and a cobweb in the corner. Martin holds a mug in one hand, and has a stressed, strained smile on his face. His dialogue box reads: “Oh, it's just you. Sorry, I had a feeling like I was being watched, but I guess I know why now, huh? Heh... Uh, I'm just making some tea. It's sort of my thing, but I'd love to have you help!”

ID: Art of a tea-making minigame sequence. A paper menu rolls down on the left, demonstrating each archival employee’s tea preferences, including bag type, milk content/colour, and sugar content. A heart-shaped cursor holds a sugar cube over a steeping cup of tea in a white mug. Above the mug on the green counter is a bowl of white sugar and a carton of milk.

ID: Art of a gameplay scene featuring Tim in the archives bullpen, talking to the player character. The room is dim and reddish-brown, with assistants’ desk, a door, and a large portrait on the wall in the background. Tim is smirking casually, but has dark circles under his eyes. His dialogue box reads: “Right, I suppose it's just you and I. Guess I'll have to take on the noble burden of teaching you the ropes, because I'm sure the big boss is busy in there sorting through whatever sinister schlock's crossed his desk this week...” On the left alternate Tim is a box with three responses to choose from. The first is, “Where do we start?” The second is selected by the cursor, and says, “Oh, how brave of you. I’m told I’m a menace.” The third option glitches out and begins using the font for character dialogue, but bolded and corrupted, reading, “Like… statement of Joe Spooky, regarding sinister happenings?”

ID: Art of a gameplay scene featuring Sasha among the archival stacks, talking to the player character. The room is warmly lit, with a shelf full of labelled boxes as well as a ladder. She smiles kindly and steeples her fingers. Her dialogue box reads: “Well, anyway, you've done this before, I'm sure. The filing here is... rather all over the place, heh, but the system itself is pretty intuitive, and we're just compiling and cross-checking statement metadata anyway. Come on, we'll do it together!”

ID: Art of a corrupted statement-matching minigame sequence. The left side of the screen is taken up by a pale page with statement transcriptions and metadata like the date and statement giver. The right side is taken up by a brown folder opened up to several yellow sticky notes, each with a case identification number. The statement metadata and case numbers are both corrupted, as is half of the statement, which is filled with garbage characters that escape the normal bounds of the text box and glitch out even the cursor.

The legible part of the statement reads: “Please, if you can read this, you have to do something […] say while it's watching. Don't let it know I know. I only ha[…] theories as to what's happening, and I can only hope that […] for help won't be my suicide note. Just pretend this is a no[…] statement, and complete the matching if you can. This is garbage data anyway — that's the foundation of this who[…] attempt. God, if this fails, I can only hope some trace of w[…] happened here will be left behind, and that you'll be an a[…] in our liberation, not our annihilation. Here goes nothing[..]”

ID: Art of a glitched gameplay sequence featuring Jon talking to the player (character). The background is heavily tilted, discoloured, and full of static and compression artifacts. Jon’s sprite and his dialogue box are similarly affected, and Jon’s dialogue is both glitched and tilting outside the bounds of the box. Jon’s eyes have been replaced with photorealistic green human eyes. He glares angrily at the player (character). His text box reads: I know your game, now. You aren’t the only one who can pull strings. You can’t have them. I won’t let you. I see you, now. Turn. It. Off[…]

Welcome to Sweet♥︎Heart Archives, a visual novel/dating sim developed for the web where you, a new arrival to the Magnus Institute’s archival division, get to go on an office rom-com romp with your favourite employees as you learn the ropes, make connections with four members full of lo-fi charm, sort files, serve tea, and above all, smile! Make the most of your eight weeks in the Sweet♥︎Heart Archives to not only earn a permanent position, but attract the assistant or archivist of your dreams!

Have some (belated) TMA fake visual novel screenshots for Valentine’s Day! It’s a game where not everything is as it seems, and not everyone is enjoying their assigned office romantic comedy… but does that matter, so long as you’re having fun? ::::)c

big thanks to @gayformlessblob and @lucianinsanity for brainstorming with me and hyping me up as I worked on this! It couldn’t have happened without them :)

A three-panel comic of Jonathan Sims and the Admiral. In the first and second panels, we look at Jon from behind. He is sitting on a couch and holding a statement. In the first panel, his speech bubble reads, "audio recording by J-". In the second panel, he turns his head to the side. His speech bubble reads "oh. Hello, Admiral." In the third panel, we view Jon from above. He is smiling and petting the Admiral, who is very poorly drawn.

don’t know why i made this but now it’s your problem
