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

This is really well done! You balance the horror with the various kinds of intrigue (the curious kind and the gay kind) super well. I'm not usually one for VNs but I played through as many endings as I could find! I'll def be keeping an eye out if you ever decide to do a full release

Hey!Question? Did you get the tucker idea from the horror movie Joy ride (2001)?(The game was fun!!!:3)
While I’ve had Jackie in mind for some while. The main turning point for who she is and what her story would be started due to this tweet I saw and it spiraled from there:

Finished this demo(?) a while ago but just leaving a comment now. This was so good, even as an excercise. Always am a sucker for hitch hiker stories and supernatural stories so this scratched a very niche but appreciated itch for me.
