Two girls. Two perspectives. One story about finding someone who finally understands you.

In the quiet coastal town of Ashridge Bay, two very different university students are trying to figure out where they belong.

Meet Emi

Emi Hayashi is soft-spoken, thoughtful, and used to watching life happen from the sidelines. She fills her journals with words she’s too afraid to share, keeps her emotions close to her chest, and quietly wonders if there's something more waiting beyond the stillness of home.

Meet Kira

Kira Thompson is her complete opposite. A sharp-tongued guitarist from South London, Kira is loud, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore. She wears confidence like armour, hides her insecurities behind sarcasm, and has no intention of letting anyone get close enough to see what's underneath.

Then they meet.

What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly becomes something neither girl knows how to handle. Through music, university life, late-night conversations, and moments neither of them quite knows how to put into words, Emi and Kira begin to discover that sometimes the person who understands you best is the person you never expected to meet.

But STATIC HEARTS isn't just one love story.

It's two stories told from two sides.

💕 EXPERIENCE BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY

Play as Emi or Kira and experience their relationship from two completely different perspectives.

Each route explores the same developing connection through the eyes of the girl experiencing it — revealing different thoughts, insecurities, memories, and interpretations of the moments they share.

A conversation that means everything to Emi might mean something completely different to Kira.

A seemingly insignificant choice might reveal something about one girl that the other never noticed.

And moments you experienced one way in one route may take on an entirely new meaning when you see them again from the other side.

Play both stories to discover how Emi and Kira's experiences align, contradict, and ultimately come together.

💔 TWO ROUTES. YOUR CHOICES.

STATIC HEARTS is a branching visual novel where your choices shape how Emi and Kira respond to one another — and how they grow as individuals.

Playing as Emi may lead you to understand something about Kira that Kira herself struggles to express.

Playing as Kira may reveal what Emi was really thinking during a moment you previously experienced differently.

The two routes are designed to intersect and echo one another, allowing you to piece together a fuller picture of their relationship as you experience both sides.

Will they find the courage to open up?

Will they learn to understand each other's differences?

Or will their fears keep them apart?

🌃 TWO HEARTS. TWO PERSPECTIVES. ONE CONNECTION.

Emi is afraid of being unseen.

Kira is afraid of being truly known.

One hides behind silence.

The other hides behind noise.

But somewhere between seaside sunsets, university corridors, handwritten lyrics, guitar strings, late-night journeys, and the static between two very different hearts, they might discover something neither of them expected.

Maybe being understood isn't as frightening when you're understood by the right person.
