Paper Hearts, made by Bite The Rose Studio in Ren'Py, is a visual novel about fragile bonds, unintended paths, and passion. A sudden accident leaves people isolated in deep woods, stripping away the familiar world and forcing raw emotions to surface. You play as multiple protagonists while the story examines loyalty, desire, and cheating. The presentation uses animated 3D CG visuals, and the project was formerly known as OurLife.
The current build is version Ch.1-7 v2.0, released October 5, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, with English, Russian, and German language options, and it is uncensored. The latest update reworks Chapter 7 plot and storylines, refreshes English, German, and Russian translations for new content, and adds performance improvements plus script bug fixes.
