History VisualNovel / FatalHearts

* PoisonousFriend: Surprisingly, it turns out that [[spoiler: the cultists are this for Bastien. It turns out Bastien ''didn't'' order the murders of young women; the cultists did that on their own to give Bastien forcibly stolen blood, deluding themselves into thinking their Master would then reward them with ultimate power. The only things Bastien can be said to be "guilty" of are his glee at the prospect of killing a werewolf, and "coming on too strong" when he thinks he's found Kirsten's reincarnation.]]

''Fatal Hearts'' is a visual novel from Creator/HanakoGames, an independent American group of small time game makers.

* ThreePlusFiveMakeFour: One puzzle has you doing this with flour. You need 2/3 cup, and you only have an 800ml cup and a 300ml cup. I hope you're good at converting...

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Christina's can end up [[spoiler: murdered, running away, committing suicide, joining a gang of werewolves, or becoming a vampire and getting married]] - but none of the epilogues make any mention of her mother's fate.

* ArrangedMarriage: But played much less seriously than the usual examples of this trope. Early on, Lucy's parents try to set her up with a really rich guy. It doesn't go as planned since the really rich guy also happens to be ''nice'', so he turns it down for Lucy's sake. You learn all this after the fact when Lucy explains why she was grounded last night. It's rather fortunate for Lucy that this trope was played more humorously in this game, considering the rich man turns out to have been [[spoiler: Bastien, who's looking for his reincarnated bride.]]

** "Blood Rejection": [[spoiler: Christina kills Bastian during the blood ritual, and [[HeroicSacrifice then proceeds to use his power to kill all the cultists before taking her own life]].]]

** "Runaways": [[spoiler: Lucy convinces Christina that it's too dangerous to stay around any longer, so they get on a bus and flee the city together.]]

** "Pyrrhus": [[spoiler: The werewolves go off to destroy the vampire cult once and for all; [[PyrrhicVictory all of werewolves and cultists are killed]] except for Lucy and her parents. Lucy's parents are brought to trial and locked up for their crimes, and Lucy movies in with Christina and her mother.]]

** "Pyre": [[spoiler: Christina flees the mansion and tears down the cultists' protective runes, allowing the werewolves to attack. The mansion goes up in flames as Christina watches from a distance, and presumably Bastian and Lucy are killed.]]

** "Judas Kiss": [[spoiler: Christina pretends to accept Bastian's affections and embraces him, then uses the power the werewolves taught her how to use to tear out his heart, killing him.]]

* {{Reincarnation}}: A complicated example, and you only find out the full story if you click on one of the two "Secrets" links and highlight the text in the official walkthrough, since the game itself doesn't quite explain everything. [[spoiler: Sebastien's lover Kirsten has been reincarnated...to lots and ''lots'' of girls, all of whom have ''pieces'' of Kirsten in them. The reason Bastian is pursuing Christina in the modern day is because Christina has the most pieces of Kirsten in her and thus Christina has the strongest "Kirsten" presence, hence Christina being the one to get {{PastLifeMemories}} in her dreams and being chosen by the vampire cult. Bastian gets his lover Kirsten back if either Christina accepts him, or alternatively if Christina brings a girl named "Katie" to him instead, since Katie is second only to Christina in the amount of pieces of Kirsten she has in him.]]
