Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of game is HWBM?

Heaven Will Be Mine is a Visual Novel, a type of video game with a relative lack of in-depth mechanics. Players interact with the game almost exclusively by clicking their mouse or pressing a button on their keyboard, and the focus of the game itself is on exposition and delivery of its story rather than reflexes or skill.

Players looking for games with similar themes to HWBM with more engaging mechanics might be interested in ARMORED CORE™ VI FIRES OF RUBICON™, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, or SIGNALIS .

Which character should new players start with?

New players should start with Saturn, as her playthrough provides the most context for the concepts of the game. Players who have a better understanding of the story, or who are already familiar with mecha fiction tropes should start with Luna-Terra. Players with a more thorough understanding of the game's themes may wish to play as Pluto, as her playthrough engages with these themes more directly.

How many playthroughs are necessary to experience all content?

In order to experience all possible content in Heaven Will Be Mine, a minimum of nine full playthroughs is necessary: the player must play as each character three times and get each faction's ending each time, with one playthrough using strategically selected decisions during missions to divide loyalty and unlocking the secret ending.

However, since the game lacks a mechanic for skipping dialogue, and a lot of content overlaps between the characters, only two full playthroughs as different characters are recommended. In these playthroughs, the player will experience all missions and two endings (if loyalties are different for each playthrough).
