Corbin is thus called upon to enter the realm of the painting and restore the world as it once was- to his incredible reluctance, as he doesn't believe he can do it. But since everyone is ignoring his protests, it seems he has no choice. With the help of his familiars, the devoted but violent angel Zophie and the friendly demon Agiel, Corbin must battle the forces of the [[BigBad Swarm Queen]], the source of the Pestilence, and save the painting world. But first Corbin will have to overcome his own self-doubt...

''Painted Heart: Chronicle of the Hero'' is a short UsefulNotes/RPGMaker game with a unique battle system by Accha and Trass (of ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' fame). It takes place in a world where art is a magic power called Pictomancy. Near the village of Appelby, the painter boy Corbin, who is training to become a Pictomancer, is pulled out of self-study and brought by his father to the local cathedral, where a painting known as the Chronicle of the Hero is featured. The painting's magical energy brings good fortune and tourism to Appelby, but a strange substance known as the Pestilence has destroyed all but one small part of the painting.
Corbin is thus called upon to enter the realm of the painting and restore the world as it once was- to his incredible reluctance, as he doesn't believe he can do it. But since everyone is ignoring his protests, it seems he has no choice. With the help of his familiars, the devoted but violent angel Zophie and the friendly demon Agiel, Corbin must battle the forces of the [[BigBad Swarm Queen]], the source of the Pestilence, and save the painting world. But first Corbin will have to overcome his own self-doubt...
The main draw of the game, besides the pretty art, is the Trinity System, a battle system that shuffles the usual strategy for RPG games. The player controls Corbin as a supporter and healer, and each of his abilities can only be used a certain number of times per game- how much depends on how many of the corresponding item he has. Meanwhile, Zophie and Agiel are the main fighters, and can only use dual attacks which cost Art Points, after which they switch to Defense Mode, where they guard, heal, or do nothing. There are also five elements- Body, Mind, Spirit, Phantasm, and Astral- which [[ElementalRockPaperScissors all have effects on each other]].
