A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Caught in an accidental love triangle by Cupid, Stella has to make the academy’s biggest rivals, Edgar and Jensen, confess their love to each other by the end of Valentine’s Day.

Bleeding Hearts is both an urban fantasy LGBTQ+ 2D visual novel and a Twilight parody, created and developed by Team Cauldron. Navigate as Stella, Haunt Academy’s sole human student, where she must figure out how to make Edgar and Jensen fall in love with each other instead of her. 

PLEASE NOTE: This is a finalized prototype with no additional updates and a direct spoof of Twilight. As this is the team’s first time making a game, this game is not supposed to be taken seriously. With that, we hope you enjoy this silly parody!


  • 2 endings 
  • 7 illustrated CGs 
  • Character driven story with ~10k+ words of dialogue
  • Up to 1 hour of playtime for an ending
  • See two boys that may or may not end up together!

CONTENT WARNINGS: Minor depictions of blood and bleeding
