A surgery beyond the heart

A medical student. An interrogation room. A surgeon who almost didn't survive.

A Surgery Beyond the Heart is a noir visual novel set in a small Ohio city in 2016. You piece together what happened — and why — through memory, silence, and the things a person chooses not to say.

Cold institutions. Quiet grief. A system that protects itself.

Some decisions can't be taken back. This is a story about living with one.
