Heartbeat House changes
Hi everyone, this is the creator of “Heartbeat House: Hong Kong”.
Before the full version launches on January 9, 2026, we’ve prepared a playable DEMO so you can step into this “Hong Kong romance reality show” ahead of time.
💖 What’s in the DEMO?
Full first two chapters: Join the show as a contestant and begin your 45-day journey of love.
Meet 7 contestants: Calm and caring, mischievous and proactive, shy and reserved, sharp-tongued but honest… each of them carries their own secrets and emotional scars.
- Full Cantonese voice acting + multi-language textCurrently supporting Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and more.
Reality-show style storytelling: Daily interactions, group scenes, heart-fluttering moments, and subtle tension between contestants.
(The full release will feature all 8 romance routes and the complete 45-day structure.)
👻 A little nod to “The Haunted Building”
If you’ve ever “lived” in that building before…
You may notice some familiar posters and names hidden in the DEMO’s backgrounds. For now, they’re just small hints – the full underworld connection will be revealed in the complete game.
Feel free to enjoy the romance… and also keep an eye on anything that looks a bit off.
📺 A message from the “producer”…
We keep saying this is a romance game. And it is. Mostly.
But the “producer” of this show left you a short message:
“I’m Producer Li. This game really is sweet, it really is. If, during the show, you notice the screen flicker, see strange shadows, or hear voices you’re not supposed to hear… please pretend you didn’t. Just keep on falling in love. I wish you… a pleasant journey.”
If you do see anything unusual, feel free to take a screenshot and share it on our Discord / QQ, so everyone can investigate together.
