Crossroads (By Hearthside Tales)

From the creators of Hearthfire comes a brand new tale! 

Crossroads is a route-based furry visual novel set in the 90s. It follows Andrew Thomson as he takes the trip of his life to start his college career. However, what he doesn't expect is a budding romance between friends as they travel across the country.


Warning: this visual novel contains graphic content such as nudity and sexual scenes.

Synopsis:

Losing a father is hard on anyone. For Andy, it means losing his guidepost in the dark. When he receives a full ride scholarship in the mail, he struggles to make a decision.

Does he stay with the only life he's ever known? Or does he brave uprooting himself to study thousands of miles from home?

With the help of supportive friends, he takes a leap of faith—even if it means leaving everything behind. Climbing into a refurbished van, sheltered suburban kids set off for a cross-country trip from Ohio to Washington. However, it isn't all fun and games. Clashing personalities and a lack of personal space pokes holes in what Andy once thought were unshakable friendships.

Yet, through it all, feelings bloom. Either freshly forged, or long repressed. The realization is bittersweet, unspoken affection coming to light in the final week of a shared childhood.
