About Bitter Harvest: A Revengeful Heart
Bitter Harvest: A Revengeful Heart is a Ren'Py visual novel created by Kalvarist, with animated 3DCG artwork. You play Klaus, who can be renamed, as a student by day and the reluctant heir of the Verdant crime syndicate in Noctovale. After a rival syndicate attacks, Klaus becomes leader of Verdant and seeks vengeance, aiming to restore his family's standing and defeat his enemies. The story combines romance, a school setting, and harem elements.
The current build is Ch.1 Act 1.5, released July 6, 2025, so the game is still under development rather than finished. It runs on Windows and Linux, is written in English, and is uncensored. The latest changelog notes an initial release that includes a prologue, marking the game's first public release.
