Interim Crossroads

Interim Crossroads is a visual novel set in the Middle World, a purgatory where the souls of the dead must atone for their wrongdoings or settle unfinished matters and emotional traumas before their final destination is decided. You follow Julius, a new arrival who must seek forgiveness from the people whose lives he ruined, despite having no memories of his life on Earth. As you make connections and learn about the world, you uncover his past and what brought him there.

The Middle World

The Middle World exists in permanent twilight and has a futuristic cyberpunk feel. Its inhabitants cannot die, but pain and suffering are real. Groups compete for power and influence through covert alliances and secret deals, while parasitic creatures feed on people's suffering. Amid this turmoil, Julius may form a meaningful connection with someone whose fate becomes intertwined with his own and helps determine his final path.

Choices and relationships

You choose what Julius says and does. These decisions affect his standing with others, some future events and the endings. You can build trust and relationships with individuals and a faction, with three romantic interests available for deeper connections.

Julius's actions also shape three attributes: Virtue, Callosity and Defiance. Raising them can unlock dialogue options and entire endings. The story has 16 endings, determined by your decisions and the relationships you build, and presents its characters and events through fully rendered 3D images.
