Inspired by Bloodborne and Doki Doki Literature Club, Black Heaven is an 18+ dark fantasy/psychological horror dating simulator inspired by the 'hungry ghost' of Buddhist mythology.

In Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim, you’re a former scholar and one of the last survivors of a plague that’s destroyed the world you used to know.

After nearly succumbing to the disease, your life is saved by a mysterious necromancer named No-Eyes, who offers you the chance to escape death forever and relive your past. All he asks are the souls of your former classmates:

Ru, your shy but brilliant tutor

Lyse, the fiery, sharp-witted debutante

Izagi, the idealistic and stoic martial artist

As you return to the ruined academy where you spent your happiest days, you’re haunted by the pleasant memories of your old friends, and the line between memory and madness becomes dangerously blurred...

Features:

Black Heaven features a mechanic called "Fractal Madness," which warps the game if you repeatedly attempt to undo your past actions by reloading a previous save file! Simply reloading the game doesn't increase your Fractal Madness, but returning to decisions you've already made will.

In addition:

Explore three main romance paths and multiple endings!

Play a simple, chess-like mini-game called 'Seeker' to increase characters' dispositions!

Enjoy a soundtrack that changes based on your Fractal Madness level!

Discover a hidden romance path for No-Eyes, the necromantic antagonist!

Demo Reviews:

"[In Black Heaven], [w]e were once a student at Itzon Academy, a place where students get to pick studies that are all--you guessed it--necromancy-adjacent...Without spoiling what comes after, there’s clearly a mystery afoot, and you get yourself indebted to a being as sinister as they are fascinating." -- Save Or Quit
