Heartfall characters
Updated 2026-10-15 · Last checked 2026-10-15
These eighteen characters are supported by the official v1.01 game build, not merely by an original-series cast list. Grian is the playable viewpoint character; NPC roles and locations depend on the active route.
We checked the unencrypted data in the official free Linux v1.01 build on 15 October 2026. These are data-derived route and ending conditions, not a claim that we played every branch. Later patches can change them. We do not redistribute the game, dialogue scripts, or ending artwork.
