We're getting closer and closer to release now, and we're excited to unveil a feature you'll find when you play!
Along the course of Aloy’s journey, you will have the chance to unlock full page, high definition illustrations of major or intimate moments in the path. Each route has six illustrations – but tread carefully, because your choices will determine whether or not you find and unlock them all! After unlocking, all discovered illustrations will be viewable in a Gallery accessed from the main menu.
Many of our illustrations were created by the artists on the FOTH team, including those from alternate teams jumping in to create for others. Some teams also had artists in the Horizon community create illustrations for their route with nothing but contextual clues and minimal spoilers for the scene. All artists have done phenomenally and we can’t wait for you to unlock each and every one!
Follow Aloy on this new adventure, unlike any she's experienced before!
8 love interests await 7 different Aloys, with a plethora of side characters, 25+ backgrounds, 40+ original songs and 45+ full illustrations that feature in this adventure. Crafted by 30+ fans, this labor of love boasts over 20 different endings for you to explore and experience alongside Aloy.
From all of us to all of you, sending all our love! 💘
We couldn't be more proud and more excited to be making this project for these characters we love so dearly, and for all of you who love them too.
We at Focus on the Heart know and understand the importance of queer stories and voices. We’re throwing our love and support behind our queer heroine, no matter which path players follow. 💖🌈
We've got an exciting announcement coming soon! Keep an eye on our socials 👀

In Focus on the Heart, the choices you as the player make on behalf of Aloy matter. Each route has at least ten decision points with three choices from which to pick, and these affect more than just which of the multiple endings you achieve!
As each route progresses, depending on your choices, your selected love interest will react differently towards Aloy. Choose well, and the love interest will be more flirty with her. Tentative touches, lingering gazes, softer moments, additional unlockable rewards - love is in the air!
Choose poorly, however, and your selected love interest will also act accordingly. Frustration, diminished trust, the loss of casual touch…they will make their dissatisfaction with Aloy's behavior known! All is not lost, though; each choice gives you a new opportunity to push the narrative in a better direction (of course, if you're the type who's into angst, maybe this outcome is what you prefer!).
And finally, back to the endings mentioned above - each route has at least three, and the best ending is not easy to achieve. Perfection will require a good understanding of the characters themselves, the lore, and your attention to the details of the narrative. So: pay attention, dig deep into your Horizon knowledge stores, and you'll be collecting smooches in no time!
Want some cheesy Valentine's cards? 💕 Happy Valentine's Day from the Focus on the Heart team! 💘
We put a spin on these and asked our writers to design some cards instead! Want some candy hearts and red lollipops with them? 🍭🍫
