Relationships are about to get exceedingly more complicated--by the introduction of a climatic catastrophe and bionic beings.

Tycoon Games, developer of several award-winning visual novels and dating sims, has announced the release of its newest steam-punk visual novel, "Bionic Heart." This indie game focuses on building a story around the relationships you cultivate, creating a butterfly effect for the events that unfold before you.

"Bionic Heart features a truly dynamic plot, where each of your decisions affects the story's outcome. Even seemingly meaningless choices can change your character's fate in the end. This game has a high replayability factor with 24 unique endings, making it my longest visual novel to date," said designer Riva Celso of Tycoon Games.

The demo is available for download on the Tycoon Games website for PCs, Macs, and Linux platforms with low hardware requirements.
