About This Game

When a company's future hinges on a single word—alignment—so do the relationships that could save it, ruin it, or redefine it.

Aligned Hearts is an adult romance visual novel set in a high-stakes San Francisco AI lab. You play as Pierce, co-founder and COO of Helion AI, navigating a twelve-week sprint to launch a frontier model while a federal courtroom battle threatens to tear the company apart. Three powerful women whose roles are professionally unavoidable will reshape everything—including you.

Each romance route includes explicit adult scenes. 9 adult scenes across three romance routes.

Meet the Cast




Astrid Lindqvist — The Charter
A founding-era Helion board member and Skybridge Ventures GP, Astrid helped architect the 2019 recap now under attack as a betrayal of the company's charter. Confident, blunt, and used to living in the long tail of high-risk bets—until those bets become deposition exhibits. Her romance is threaded through governance, loyalty, and the question of who truly owns Helion's future.



Soraya — The Model
Helion's Head of Alignment, Soraya is the person the company must trust when the model's behavior stops being theoretical and starts being consequential. Brilliant and disciplined with a researcher's precision, she's also the named author on the safety work the plaintiff wants to weaponize in court. With Pierce, professional necessity collapses into something far more intimate.



Halsey Roe — The Discovery
Lead trial counsel for the plaintiff: incisive, relentless, and perfectly at home turning internal emails into narrative weapons. She and Pierce know each other across counsel tables and procedural deadlines, but this case makes their rivalry unavoidable—and strangely magnetic. Their connection is defined by discovery: what can be demanded, what can be hidden, and what they learn about each other off the record.
