About This Game

Warning: Lingering is lovingly crafted to bring forward stories with darker topics such as portrayals of mental health issues, self-harm, mentions of suicide, depictions of hetero/homo sexual acts and violence. Some themes and contents might be more suitable to mature audiences.

Story


The Heart Breachers is an organization committed to keep humankind safe from the harmful manifestations of their own emotions. Contained within every burst of feelings is an Ignite, the purest form of energy. Negative feelings bear Lingerings, and positive feelings produce Astrays. Astrays are typically tame, but Lingerings could wreak havoc in the real life while driving its host to madness. However these projected forms pale in comparison to the Ignites. Often unruly and violent, killing an Ignite means killing its host’s ability to feel emotions permanently.

It is your job to tame the beasts within human hearts. Will you succeed and discover yourself among the way or will you fail and lose yourself?
