Embark on a personal journey of self-acceptance in this emotional platformer. Navigate through challenging levels while discovering your inner strength.

In Hidden Hearts, players explore Alex's monochrome town, searching for hidden notes of encouragement in places like the city, school, and park. These notes unlock alternate versions of the town in platforming levels where players must collect lavender hearts to move on.  As players progress, color and vibrancy slowly seep back into the real world, symbolizing Alex’s growing self-acceptance and the town’s gradual shift toward inclusion and understanding.
