Released in 2018 for PC, Border of Her Heart is an indie visual novel centered on border control in the aftermath of a plague outbreak. Players take on the role of a guard manning the entrance to a quarantined town, responsible for deciding which travelers are permitted entry each day. Resources and personnel are stretched thin following the epidemic, so careful screening of applicants is essential — and some visitors are not who they present themselves to be. Each shift allows only two people through the gate, though certain special events can alter that limit. Outside of work hours, players can interact socially with the town's residents and develop relationships with various characters, some of whom have multiple outfits. The game blends document-inspection decision-making with interpersonal storytelling, placing emphasis on judgment calls that carry consequences both for the town's recovery and the player character's relationships.
