Nova Hearts Now Available On Console and PC

Seattle - June 20, 2025 | Shoreline Games and Lightbulb Crew are excited to announce that Nova Hearts is now available across four (4) major platforms. The game is priced at $19.99 on Steam and $24.99 on Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Steam users will enjoy a 15% discount for the first 2 weeks of launch as well. We’re also teaming up with Boyfriend Dungeon to have the Boyfriend Dungeon x Nova Hearts: Hearts in a Dungeon bundle run for 14 days starting from launch day.

Nova Hearts – a turn-based strategy game with dating sim and visual novel elements – marks the first release from upstart studio Shoreline Games, and the second from Lightbulb Crew which most notably released Othercide to an overwhelmingly positive critical reception from both press and audience alike. The game features a group of heroes who embark on an adventure to defend their hometown, inspired by classic superhero shows such as Sailor Moon.

Before launch, the Teams behind Nova Hearts have partnered with select coffee shops, bars, and other LGTBQA+ friendly establishments across the U.S. to provide free Nova Hearts branded condoms and coasters, donating a percentage of the proceeds to Rainbow Railroad between Shoreline Games and Lightbulb Crew on behalf of the participating establishments:

“We are so grateful to Shoreline Games for choosing to support Rainbow Railroad through Nova Hearts and the awareness campaign surrounding the game’s release,” said Brittany Skerritt Director of Community Giving. “As asylum protections continue to erode around the world, our work faces increasing challenges. Through supporting the Nova Hearts campaign, you will be helping us respond to the requests for help we are receiving from LGBTQI+ individuals and expand our capacity to support grassroots partners doing critical work.”

“We fell in love with Nova Hearts for its charm, unique blend of gameplay and visual aesthetics which has some of the best-looking designs out there” said Keith Kawamura, CEO and Co-founder at Shoreline Games. “So, we would love to share this whole experience and magic of Nova Hearts with as many people as possible; and then to do a little good out there in collaboration with Lightbulb Crew as well is just icing on the cake for us.”

“The whole team at Lightbulb Crew is super excited to share Nova Hearts with the world,” said Anders Larsson, CEO of Lightbulb Crew.  “We have lived for years in Luce's world of relationships and being a superhero. Now we are looking forward to getting it into the hands of players!”
