Halfway House

Halfway House is a character-driven visual novel about a young man who leaves juvenile detention and moves into a halfway house to rebuild his life. Over six months, you shape his future through branching choices that affect his relationships and the story. The narrative follows shared meals, tense standoffs, quiet breakthroughs and deepening bonds, mixing humor, emotional moments and mature themes.

The residents

You meet Samantha, the caring but strict house matron, who also has an uninhibited side; Emily, a fiery redhead with a soft heart beneath her sharp temper; and Ashley, a brash, magnetic presence who keeps things hidden. Other friends, foes and unexpected connections also enter the story.
