Heartbreak (Project)

Project Heartbreak (also known as Heartbreak) was an early attempt to create a competitor to indie-title Yandere Simulator. The project amassed a small team of artists, music producers, 3D modelers and programmers under the lead of current Love Letter producer DrApeis. Many of the assets created for Heartbreak have been reused as place-holders in its successor project Love Letter.

Prior to being cancelled, Heartbreak was abandoned as a 3D title due to the relatively small team and over-expansive scope of development. Instead, it was slated to be reworked into a visual novel. Even in this form, Heartbreak would later be cancelled due to organizational conflicts.

Similarities to Love Letter
The most notable similarities are the character design of Heartbreak protagonist 'Yue' and Setsuna's beta design, 'Bow-chan'.

Other similarities include:
 * Missing posters were first introduced for students killed by the player in Project Heartbreak, later reused in Love Letter.
 * The Love Letter custom UI was once an original UI coded for Project Heartbreak, used in early stages of development. This was later replaced.
