Hardcore Gamer: "Pyrite Heart is an otome game with a unique storyline focused on a princess named Ahri. One day she is challenged by her brother when he states she couldn’t live without her pampered palace lifestyle."
"Winged Cloud's next release, Pyrite Heart, takes a very different path. Instead of being a flighty fantasy tale, it focuses on school life and a young woman (possibly) finding romance along the way. Yep, it’s an otome (“for girls”) visual novel, although of course anyone can give it a playthrough."
Pyrite Heart is a story about a princess with only one week in the real world. It’s a gorgeous game, but that week passes by in a mediocre flash.
Technology Tell:
"It was the promise of a digital dakimakura that lured [Jenni Lada] into Pyrite Heart. I’d recently been joking about getting one with friends, and when I heard the Steam copy of this new visual novel from Winged Cloud and Sekai Project included a form of one, it sparked my interest in the game. Like the allure of the silly dakimakura, Pyrite Heart is just as brief and sweet."
