How would you react to your child’s mother ending her own life? Would you make the same choices I made? Would you feel the same regret? How would you support your child through this painful moment of life?

## About This Game
My daily life brutally collapsed the day Marie, my wife, took her own life.

The violence of the death led to a forensic investigation, to reporters
pushing doubt on the nature of what happened… and even though Marie suffered
from bipolar disorder, the demons of remorse of our fresh break-up started to
show up.

To try to get a grasp of why Marie gave up on life, I keep remembering our
life together, the choices I made. It is a necessary evil to find the right
words to Theo’s questions, our 5 year-old boy, in order to help him to cope
with his mother’s loss.

Live my life and learn if your choices are similar to mine.

## Concept

Both a visual novel and an adventure game, Lie in My Heart is the exploration
of a family tragedy and of the autobiographical possibilities of videogames.
The game relies on the concept of « expressive games »: play experiences that
give players the opportunity to take someone’s place in order to explore
personal psychological and social issues, as well as moral and ethical
dilemmas and their consequences. This concept is the result of several years
of research carried out by game designer and researcher Sebastien Genvo

## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
Even though there are no explicit visuals, the main topic of the game
(suicide) might be disturbing for an younger audience. We recommend our game
for mature players. Some of the player’s actions may lead the hero to alcohol
abuse.
