Clockwork Hearts

An Adult Romance Visual Novel about a grieving young man who inherits his grandfather's antique clock shop — and a mysterious pocket watch that fractures time itself. When the watch opens, Ethan is pulled into three simultaneous visions: frozen loops called echoes, where the worst moment of someone's life replays without end. A barista who never boarded the plane. A street artist who arrived three seconds too late. A violinist who freezes on the fourth measure, every time. Each woman is trapped in her own echo, and Ethan is the only person who can enter — not to fix them, but to witness, to stay, and to refuse to look away while they find the courage to shatter the loop themselves. Choose one echo. Follow one woman through grief, desire, and the terrifying act of letting go. In a story where time is both prison and pulse, love isn't rescue — it's the quiet act of giving someone space to finally move forward.
