Have you ever seen those Marble Racing videos? Now-- have you ever wanted to fulfill your dreams of coaching a racer to victory (with a side of falling in love?)

Meet Marble Race: Into My Heart, an in-progress virtual novel, dating simulator, and marble racing simulator.

With over 24 different endings, 8 fully voiced different routes, and over 150k words of dialogue, Marble Race: Into My Heart is currently in development by a team of 17 upcoming developers, artists, and writers. The game takes place over the course of a week leading up to the big final race.

Train your marbles in short mini-games to boost their stats. Mini-games are short, simple, and inspired by classic race-trainers like Duck Life.

Experience heartfelt moments in plot-driven scenes, from breaking into a museum in order to stare at your mothers paintings, preventing cheating allegations, or desperately trying to hide a secret pop-star persona.

Or-- maybe just kick back and relax at the mall, aquarium, or other locations (each marble has a favorite!)

All of your decisions impact on if your racer will win by the end of the week... good luck!

Well... you're going to have to stick around if you want to get more in depth. But, let's go over some basic introductions, shall we?

OLIVE (They/Them) -- aka: The Gold Medal God Olive is known for winning every race-- except for last year, where they received their first silver medal. They're out for revenge. Racing is their family's game, not anyone else's.

LAVENDER (She/Her) -- aka: The Rising Star Lavender snagged the first-place medal, making her stand out as a rising star, and finally, a competitor worth challenging Olive. Despite her overwhelming popularity, she can't stand being in front of a camera.

MINT (He/They) -- aka: The Charming Devil Mint is known for being both suave-- and extremely hard to work with. In the midst of last years race, he fell and sustained an injury. Word has it that he hasn't been medically cleared-- but still is determined to race anyway.

CORAL (She/Her) -- aka: The Bubbly Hero Coral is revered in the racing industry for her sportsmanship. In fact-- she sacrificed her third-place spot just to carry Mint across the finish line. However, secretly she's holding grudges from years past that just wont budge.

YELLOW (He/Him) -- aka: The Old Dog Yellow has been in the game for a while, and has gone through his fair share of disputes. His ex-wife was a previous racer, and word has it that they're still in rough waters. He's playing a careful balancing game of raising his child, coparenting, and winning this years race.

CREAM (She/Her) -- aka: The Secretive Assistant Cream has always been somewhat of an underground pick. Word has it she's best friends with some of the elite racers-- and she's even worked as Olive's assistant in the past. Despite this, she has her own motives, and uses her strings to get what she wants.

NAVY (He/Him) -- aka: The Cursed Underdog Navy has never won a race. In fact-- he's only ever gotten last place in his career. Something is holding him back, but he wont let anyone get close enough to him to learn what's causing it.

RED (Any pronouns) -- aka: The Promising Newbie This year is Red's first in the races! They're anxious to begin, but equally excited. But-- being famous is hard, especially if you're a huge fan of sharing your hot takes of your favorite show Uncle Babe and The Pretty Pals lore online. Those will get dug up for sure. Hopefully that doesn't trail back to the family at home who's looking up to you.

Marble Race: Into My Heart is still currently in development.
