Yuri Visual Novel ‘Heart of the Woods’ Reveals Physical Release for PS4, PS5, and Switch

Publisher Sekai Games has announced they have partnered with Limited run games to release the Studio Élan developed fantasy yuri visual novel Heart of the Woods physically on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on April 18, 2023.

The physical edition will include new artwork by Satchely, the artist of National Park Girls and Doki Doki Literature Club. Those who wish to purchase the game can pre-order on April 18 via the Limited Run Games website. Further, a soundtrack is available as an add-on.

Heart of the Woods tells the story of a young woman called Maddie Raines, who is irritated with her current life. So together with her best friend Tara, she goes on a paranormal investigation trip to a remote village. There they find ancient mysteries and strange phenomena. One of those is the ghost of a young woman tied to a love story that transcends life and death.

The console release was initially expected for 2020, but the porting needed some extra time. In case you’d like to know more about the game, you can check our review of the PC version. Although the lack of voices was one gripe we had with the game back in the day, an update has included English audio.
