JACKKNIFE
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
JACKKNIFE is a psychological horror visual novel set in the highways of rural America. You play a lone hitchhiker trying to outrun your past when a charming truck driver named Jackie offers you a ride. But as snow begins to fall, you sense that your rescuer might be far more dangerous than you expected.
Features:
- 13,900 words
- 9 cgs
- Branching narrative paths based on choices
The Characters:
Jackie
Player:
You play as a lonely hitchhiker. A woman, though who she is and what she’s running from are left to you. There are no pronoun options, and the story uses feminine terms like 'lady' when referring to you. Your appearance is never shown directly, but your style of dress is more feminine, like references to wearing skirts and make-up.
Content warning:
Jackknife contains depictions of blood, death, stalking, manipulation, and predation. This game explores mature subject matter intended for adult audiences. Minor sexual themes, but no explicit graphic sex is depicted.
Future Plans:
I’ve had this concept for a few years now, but I took the opportunity this year to practice branching paths in a visual novel in a way I haven’t before. I do have some future ideas for this game, but I wouldn’t call it a demo, as I don’t currently plan to finish it , it was more of a writing exercise. However, if there’s enough interest, I might continue it!
For now, feel free to check out my other games. I recently released a remake of my lesbian dating sim from years back, check it out here: https://llonelly.itch.io/monster-sweethearts-recut

In general, thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to play. Thanks!

This game was incredible and Jackie is ✨ perfect ✨... Would love to return to this if it is ever continued because this game and atmosphere has a choke hold on me.

I absolutely LOVED this visual novel! Quite a great story indeed, super immersive as well. And the fact we slowly begin to figure what jackie really is was quite a treat. Definitely underrated for sure. Would personally love to see a full game! Made a video on it.
thanks for the video! Happy you enjoyed it.

Hi! I really enjoyed playing Jackknife — the story and atmosphere are amazing!
I'm a volunteer translator trying to build my portfolio.
I'd love to translate Jackknife into Turkish for free and help with localization if you're interested.
Please let me know what you think 🙂
thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the video ❤️
Please consider making this a full game. It's so good!! The art style, the concept, design, etc. It's truly an incredible game and i hope you finish it! <3
pls add a good ending if theres isnt one. I NEED MORE.. and i wanna see her eyes :D
I'm sooo glad I found this game in a sea of visual novels, and none of them have perfectly fit the type of gay thriller game i enjoy. Lesbian supernaturals, please save MEEEEEEEE
this game was genuinely so amazing!! its so rare to find these type of games nowadays and it has sososo much potential and it was such a fun experience choosing different choices and exploring different responses to see how itll affect the story and learning more about Jackie!! im REALLYYY hoping this game will be continued cuz it was so good. Definitely big recommend!!
