Beating Heart Alpha

I love the game and the concept, but like the controls are hard to figure out. I don't know how to drop bodies and items while there in my hands :< It would be nice to have a guide :>

Good game, but the controls are very inconsistent. It switches between having you use e, spacebar and enter to select things and switches between WASD and the arrow keys to move in menus. Also, having a main menu button would be good.

I also found a bug with the phone: when you write/sell poems on it while you have the calming pills, it takes the pills each time you press I.

Regardless, keep up the good work!

Edit: I just remembered that there's also a bug with the dialogue: when I asked some students if they needed help, the captions wouldn't show up for most of it and then flash after a few seconds. This started after I asked one person (the lost bookbag girl) if they needed help. My earbuds just broke yesterday and my computer doesn't have speakers, so I had no way of knowing what they were saying.

If you need a extra female voice actor, im always available, tho the audio can sometimes not be very clear, also one question, will be it available for moblie in any way?

Hi! Are you looking for any voice actors?

i love this game so much and its soo cute!! I wish i could wear the hello kitty book bag in the room its super cute :3 but anyways game is amazing and i love it

It looks soooo cute! :3 And just look like the type of game I love <3 Really hope you get all the attention deserved (,,ºvº,,)/

I want to support you but the patreon link doesn't work! Can you update it so I can support you besides through Itch.io??

This game has some potential honestly. I like how we can customize our character with the textures in the files, and i love the character models! 

Bugs/Glitches i found:

The teacher in our classroom that sits down has a error sticking out of her head.

One of the bathrooms has a floating knife above it i found it in free camera mode 

i dont even know how i activated it but it wont show up again.

Another problem is the police count down freezes at 0:01

Suggestions:

I think it would be cool to see the poem we wright in the morning, or have a reason wright it, maybe a character needs us to wright a poem for them to give it to someone they like, maybe a matchmaking method and the rivals suiter and they need to give the rival a love letter.

There should be a app on te phone that takes us to settings, its annoying needing to go the the menu and change settings and it resets the day,

There is a task where we need to steal a confiscated phone from the teacher, i think it would be cool if the teacher has to stand up and walk somewhere which gives us the oppertunity to steal the phone since in the game we steal it while shes looking and she says nothing.

I may be Lil bit annoying but....will this game launch for iOS and Android??

Hi! I've noticed a glitch when I try to bury someone and I drop the shovel on the body I can't pick up the body or the shovel

Hello there! I saw a playthrough of your game a few days ago, and I absolutely loved the vibe of it! Everything is so pastel, and Sakura's design is adorable! Anyways, if you're ever in need of an artist, I can volunteer! Though I specialize in character art, any other work is fine too. My discord is hello_lin, but different forms of communication can be arranged if you want!

Here's my tumblr for a frame of reference of my artworks – https://www.tumblr.com/morning-linn

Hii! This question might seem silly but I noticed that on the credits you have Michi for artwork. I was just wondering if this is 69michi who creates the webtoon rebirth on webtoons? Idk why but I can’t stop wondering lol.

alsoo, you probably already know about it but my favourite youtube just played beating heart in his latest video: 

hi! although this game is so early in development, i already see a lot of potential! the graphics are super adorable, the voice acting and art is stunning and i love some of your ideas, for example the poem writing mechanic and police interrogation part. i can't wait to learn more about the lore. i like the idea of sakura having heart problems because it's original and you can do so much with it in the story.
keep up with the amazing work! <3

Heyyy, if you need a voice actor you could add me on Discord [yelloweg , it might take me a while to accept the friend request.] I'm 15 and I'm willing to do it for free . I've never voice acted for a game or anything like that before, but I feel like it would be fun voice acting for this game!
