Uh, not to be "that guy" but... you didn't read it accurately... "Ascendant Hearts is a visual novel where you wake up in a strange new world before going on a real-life RPG adventure with three wacky party members."
Also, it's wrong to assume that all VN's are purely about reading. Take https://vndb.org/v238 for example, it's a VN with actual gameplay and rpg elements thrown in.
Thanks IGG for the upload. This doesn't by default include the restoration patch use this link https://www.dropbox.com/s/qoejpybs3bjfc3g/nsfw.rpy?dl=0 to download the patch and save it to the /game folder. If you install it correctly it will show "NSFW Patch Active" in the top left of the main menu.
Thanks. Link is safe. For future reference though, please link the official website instead. We paranoid people tend to be suspicious of random links. https://visualnoveler.com/ascendant-hearts (link at the bottom of the page is the same as above)
