Interim Crossroads

A visual novel with choices and consequences, set in a purgatory dimension where we must complete certain tasks before we are deemed worthy to move on. Build trust and romance, confront the past, and choose the future.

Welcome to the Middle World - a purgatory dimension where people's souls go to after they die. In the Middle World people have to complete tasks to atone for their wrongdoings or settle any unfinished matters and emotional traumas before their final destination can be decided.

As a newly arrived, Julius has to seek forgiveness of those whose lives he ruined in life. But with no memories of his Earth life, the task wouldn't be easy. He has to make friends and connections and find out more about this world - a world that exists in a permanent twilight time of the day, has a futuristic cyberpunk flare, and where it is impossible to die, while pain and suffering are all as real as they can be.

While uncovering our past and facing its challenges, we also must face the ever-unpredictable politics and dangers of the Middle World, with different groups contending for power and influence, covert alliances and secret deals, and parasitic creatures that feed on people's suffering. And perhaps in the midst of this chaos we can build a meaningful connection with someone, whose fate will intertwine with our own and seal our final path.
