Short but sweet, no sex but I like the characters. I hope on more from this dev, I got the harem ending and it was nice so give it a try and enjoy yourself gentlemen. Now i am only trying to get upp too 200 characters so that i can leave an rate

It's easy to find fault with Interim Crossroads. The English isn't always great, the renders aren't anything special, and certain plot points are a little underdeveloped.

And yet, I'm glad I played this little VN because it has a good take and something worthwhile to say about morality, and all its murky gray areas. It's notable that most of the characters - the protagonist included - don't fit neatly into boxes of good and evil. Your choices are largely about shaping your character. They will pull you closer to some, while pushing you away from others. The characters are well-written and have agency - they won't unconditionally agree with you just because you're the player. Actions have consequences.

I won't spoil anything, so go play it if any of this sounds interesting.

Nice little game, actually not so little if you want to explore all the different paths and the 10+ endings. Be warned though, this is NOT a porn game, there are a few sex scenes, but you won’t see any actual sexual content, just breasts and a render or two suggesting that the protagonists are actually having sex without showing it.

Almost no animation and the renders are average, it’s like playing a 2010’s visual novel. But the 3 love interests are good looking and 2 of them offer a nice romance.

The story is quite good and offers suspense, drama and action in a sci-fi world, a world where you have to make some choices in order to determine your fate. Choices matter a lot, and that’s why I really enjoyed playing this game, I had 3 different playthroughs to make sure I would get all the endings, as some of them are locked depending on the LI you’re pursuing.

3.5/5. I just wished it was longer and better rendered.

Interim Crossroads is a short but complete game with fantasy setting. It doesn't have much sex (maybe about 5 scenes) and these scenes are rather average (and softcore if that matters to you) but I liked the story.

So you are a dead guy who finds himself in some purgatory and doesn't remember anything how he died. The purgatory is a kind of surreal, dark city where gangs fight each other, monsters roam the streets and people still have carnal desires. Through the story you discover your past, make friends and foes and well... have sex.

I actually liked the story. It reads well, has choices that matter and is neither too complicated or too simple. There are also some simple stats.

But as I said it is quite short and the presentation is average. So it's 4 stars for me.
