  • I have a question!

    Hello again! Royal_Wolf#1! here. I have a TON of trinkets, and I heard that you can trade them for coins. But WHERE do I do that? Cause I REALLY want to get the artwork and so far I’ve been playing Julian’s storyline, and I plan on doing Arsa next. (Also some people spell Arsa’s name incorrectly. They spell it as Asra, not Arsa) But yeah, can you PLEASE explain to me on where to trade my trinkets? Thanks 😊 XOXO, Royal_Wolf#1!

  • Nix Hydra shouldn’t have sold out.

    Nix Hydra selling out was a horrible mistake, really the gamed just been neglected unless you download a separate app. The Dorian app is plastered all throughout the game, and they’ve somehow sucked the very soul out of it. They’ve cut the amount of coins you can earn without spending money, and cut the fanbase in half. It was such a good game until capitalism really sunk its claws into it. Really, just get through the main routes then delete and scroll on tumblr for decent fan material.

    I’ve had this game since 2019 or so and I absolutely love it so much! I used to play it all the time in middle school, it’s so intriguing and overall amazing! I loved every route with the characters, from the good route to the bad route I enjoyed every single one! It’s honestly a good game in my opinion! But I recently broke my phone a few months ago, and I lost all of my progress, I had it saved to my account but now everything is gone💔 all I have left are my keys. But even though I lost everything at least I can replay this again❤️ the nostalgia is so amazing.

  • Wonderful Game

    This game genuinely brings so much joy to me! I’ve only played through Julian’s storyline so far but the writing and story-telling is so alluring and the playful banter between characters makes connecting to them so easy. I’ve found the romance aspects so refreshing in comparison to many other games which rush the relationship and lack the ability to establish strong bonds like they do in The Arcana. (Being immersed in the storyline-) I had purchased 30 keys so I could read Julian’s storyline in one go, and it was so so worth it, and it also felt good being able to support the creators even just a little with my purchase! I’ve literally never once wrote a review for any app before, but this game deserves props and sooo much more! (Also the merch is so cool!!)

    Pros: It’s pretty fun and interesting, I’m excited to explore all the romance routes. The art style & character design is just stunning, kudos to artists/digital designers! It’s very cool to see pronoun options for non-binary peeps 👍 I’m loving love the characters so far, it’s really nice to have a variety of different personalities to peruse. Personally for me, I’m so happy to see some NON-yandere male love interests, no offense to those who do enjoy it. Heart Hunter is so dang fun and addictive, I swear I played more of it than the actual game itself. Cons: I’m not a huge fan of the in-game purchases, especially when I’m in the middle of an emotional and tense situation…..and then I have to pay to play to see the juicy stuff. I appreciate it being ad-free but the monetization can be annoying tbh.

    EDIT: Disregard the coin part, I just realized that there already is an opinion to earn coins in the game. I absolutely love this game. The story, the characters, the plot, everything is well-crafted. I love playing these types of games, and I think this is my favorite out of all the others I've played. My only complaint is the coins. It's very frustrating that I can't choose certain options since I can't earn more coins without downloading the other game or spending real money. I have restrictions on my phone that prevents me from downloading 17+ games, so I can't play the other game that gives you more coins. Please consider adding a feature or mode in-game that allows you to earn coins somehow without having to buy them with real money or having to download the other game. Thank you for reading.

    Hi everyone! I just started back playing this game a few months ago, and I love it! It is written really well and the characters are amazing. I also love how they give you a choice in “dating” all the characters. But, I do have a suggestion. I don’t know what happens once you collect all the trinkets, but I think there should be a way that we can sale our extra ones for more coins. The coin cost in the story is so high that I find myself waiting weeks so I’ll have more than enough to just get 2 premium choices. That’s the only problem that I have. Like, if the coin cost could be lower in game, giving coins for finishing an episode (or even just an ad for extra), and giving coins for winning heart hunter. I would love that! So, those are my thoughts :) .

  • Changes to the storyline made me delete 🥲

    🗣️🗣️EDIT: After getting the response :“when the app was purchased from its creator, no changes were made” Thanks for clarifying that you never played this when it was released, and I’ve deleted the app :/ thanks guys! I re-downloaded this game after a long time hoping that they changed the coin usage, I was obsessed with the storyline and loved how you could play the chapters and interact with every character within the main storyline, but shocked to find that when I re-downloaded, it’s become a dating game fully. I love dating games don’t get me wrong and back in 2019, When I downloaded this the first time it did have a dating option. But you could play the storyline if you didn’t want to use the dating option.. This time it seems to stop at chapter 6 or eight. I’m not sure. I remember part of the story having you “hunt” for these guys in animal masks running around the maze in the duchess’s garden, that was one of the challenges in the storyline.

  • Love this game!

    I love the art, music, story- everything! It’s super easy to get coins and keep playing. They’re always working on new content, so there’s never a boring moment. Highly recommend!

  • Great!!
