About Golden Hearts and Dark Mysteries

Golden Hearts and Dark Mysteries is a Ren'Py dating sim by Radiant Heart Games, using 3DCG animated visuals. You play a 28-year-old man working a demanding job at a prestigious company. After seeing his boss in an odd situation and surviving a car accident, he suspects the crash was not random and tries to prove that Mr. Pinewell is involved in shady business. Alongside the investigation, he manages his private life and works to become the best version of himself, while meeting women such as Valeria, Emma, Nia, Naomi, Grace, and Shiori.

Development is ongoing, and the current build is version 0.41, released on November 6, 2023. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English and is uncensored. The latest update advances Valeria's quest and adds a path where the player can date Valeria and become her boyfriend. Earlier changes included a new main quest with puzzles, a new character, including dates and erotic scenes, interface and convenience improvements, bug fixes, and a smaller file size.

Changelog

v0.41 This update continues Valeria's Quest and lets you date Valeria to become her boyfriend. v0.4 New main quest with new puzzles New character with date and erotic scenes Improved UI and quality of life changes Many bug fixes and behind the scenes improvements Reduced file size v0.36 Public Release! The new update is here! As usual, it includes Naomi's first quest, her one heart date, two erotic scenes and a few minor scenes. To start the new content you need to go to the cheat menu in the store and activate the new update or simply start a new game. One thing that I noticed that currently does not work correctly are the dates. You can actually go on one heart dates regardless if you completed the quest before or not. This is not how they were supposed to work. It would be an easy fix, but that would mean that a fresh save game would be required, so that's why I decided that I will only fix it in the update 0.4 which will be a larger update which will require fresh save games. If you play the game as intended, then this doesn't really affect your gameplay experience at all. Do not however try to go on a 2 heart date! They are not yet in the game and will softlock you, and you will need to load a savegame (Therefore, I would advise saving before asking a girl on a date). v0.34 The newest update is finally here and introduces Nia's quest and her 2 heart date. In order to unlock it you will need to have 1 Golden Heart and come across a misc. scene which can play when you talk to Nia. So go see her and unlock the quest! Important: If you want to use an old savegame you will need to go to the store and unlock the new content through the cheat menu. Warning! If you have a savegame older than from before version 0.32 there will be error messages! They can be safely ignored though, just press the "Ignore" Button if such an error message should pop up. v0.33 Public This update is all about our favorite MILF Grace. It introduces Grace's quest to unlock her 2nd heart date. Alongside come a bunch of lilttle improvements. There are three new locations, three misc. scenes and 2 new erotic scenes for Grace. In order to unlock it you will need to have 1 Golden Heart and come across a misc. scene which can play when you talk to Grace. So go see her and unlock the quest! Important: If you want to use an old savegame you will need to go to the store and unlock the new content through the cheat menu. Warning! If you do this there will be error messages! They can be safely ignored though, just press the "Ignore" Button if such an error message should pop up. v0.32 Public The new update is here! It introduces a brand new sidequest for the busty Valeria. In order to unlock it you will need to have 1 Golden Heart and come across a misc. scene which can play when you talk to Valeria. So go see her and unlock the quest! When you complete the quest you will unlock Valeria's 2nd Heart date. If you complete that you will unlock 2 new erotic scenes and 3 misc. scenes. In this update there are also two new locations and many smaller quality of life changes. v0.22 -6 short miscleanous scenes that give you more information about the story of the girls -6 new erotic scenes with 3 animations (One scene for each girl) -new questions, updated some old video files and improved the UI a bit Note: The new scenes are unlocked by reaching 1 golden heart with the respective character (by succesfully going on the first date). If you already have one heart with the character (or if you simply want to unlock all the new content) then you can use the cheat menu which can be found in the store! 0.21 -18 new miscleanous scenes that give you more information about the story of the girls -6 new erotic scenes with 5 animation (One scene for each girl) -A brand new screen that gives you information on all the girls you already met (See screenshot, will be expanded upon in the future!) and a new scene gallery where you can rewatch every single erotic scene that you have already seen! And many more little things like new outfits, new questions, bug fixes etc. Note : The new scenes are unlocked by reaching 1 golden heart with the respective character (by succesfully going on the first date). If you already have one heart with the character (or if you simply want to unlock all the new content) then you can use the newly added cheat menu which can be found in the store! v0.2a Introduces the roaming and dating system. I recommend starting a new game. You can now freely walk around Solseta City! This update introduces the first hald of the major game mechanics: Dating! Go look for the girl you desire, seduce her and then take her on a date! - Schedule system for girls: They will be in different locations and wearing different clothing depending on the time of day and which weekday it is! - 12 Erotic Scenes (2 for each girl, trigger randomly) - 12 smaller Scenes giving background information about each character (2 for each girl, trigger randomly) - 6 first heart dates for each girl - Short introduction after the prologue - Hundreds of background, character and other renders v0.1a First release

The story is interesting and the characters are also decent however the sandbox is very unwieldy and the game itself is very needlessly grindey for the amount of rewards you get, for example is you would've given me a hammer…
Steviehg84 2020-11-20 ★★★★★
Not a good game, you grind your way through the first date & have to start from scratch to get a 2nd date only for the game to tell you that you can't do that... YET. Its truly a waste…

Its a good start. The models are good, and smooth transition between scenes. Nice amount of things going on in the prologue and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. The only thing that should be changed is the…
