Re:Heart - The Tale of Reverse Isekai

Game premise and mechanics

Re:Heart - The Tale of Reverse Isekai is a VR simulator that combines roguelite deckbuilding with visual novel elements. Players navigate through various tropes, each representing a different theory about love, in an effort to “understand everything” about it. The game incorporates a unique three-track combat system and includes a city hub where players manage relationships, dates, and other life activities.

Combat and card system

Combat utilizes a deckbuilding mechanic where players start with a hand of shields and persuasion cards, without any direct attack options. Damage is reflective; players can only inflict harm based on damage they have previously received. Attack cards become available once players ally with one of the heroines, who have their own unique card pools, adding depth to the strategy.
