Set inside a retro-styled 8-bit video game, Pixel Hearts follows Ruby—the game’s plucky non-player character—who glitches into self-awareness and rallies a band of side-scrollers, boss monsters and background sprites to rewrite their rigid code before the final “Game Over” reboot. Blending chiptune pop, power-ballad anthems and projection-mapped 8-bit scenery, the show explores free will, digital identity and the quest for meaning in a pre-programmed world—all in under two hours with a high-score encore.
