Hey folks!! Heartbeat Highschool, our new queer-friendly, solo journaling, 90s anime dating sim TTRPG is LIVE on Kickstarter  now! 

In Heartbeat Highschool, you play a 17 year old high school senior who has moved to a new American high school in a new town in the late 1990s. You have schoolwork, a part time job with flexible hours, and several dating partners who are vying for your attention. Can you find your one true love and graduate high school before the end of your final year? 

Features:

  • Manage your schoolwork and social life in a unique six-sided dice pool system. 
  • 6+ potential dating partners with detailed biographies, beautiful artwork by Demon Dionysus, and ~secrets~
  • Full list of holidays & school events (including potentially minigames!)
  • 36+ page staple-bound 8.5" x 5.5" rulebook
  • 100% Human Created Content!

!!! PLEDGE NOW !!!

In Heartbeat Highschool, gender & sexuality have no bearing on who you can date. Our team is made up of queer trans folk (we have at least one token cis). You'll revisit some of your favorite old character tropes with our fun cast, and use an included decoder to find out everyone's secrets!!

Everybody knows Dani. It’s impossible to miss her. Outgoing, spunky, and occasionally, loud. Dani is popular among students, able to drift between friend groups seamlessly. While some may find her offputting, those who get to know her find that she has a heart of gold.
Mark is too cool for school–literally; he’s permanently on the detention list for skips and tardies. One more unexcused absence and they’ll have to send a note home with him. Mark views himself as a true creative, a diamond in the rough, the voice of the voiceless. Aloof and stoic, his distant personality is mostly a shield to disguise his true feelings of insecurity, which he will definitely never tell you about.
Sam is Heartbeat Highschool’s star athlete, allowed to compete in all sports simultaneously. If there’s an activity, Sam will find a way to make it competitive–and win. Sam’s shorter stature has never bothered them, and they excel in all physical activities despite this. Full of energy and a positive, can-do attitude, Sam is always a bright spot on a rainy day, even if they can sometimes be a handful.
