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

I thank you from the depths of my soul for making this. I LOVE JACKIE SO MUCH <3 !!! I wish there was a spinoff or something similar!
it was so good, i'm surprised it's a demo. would love to see the story progress!
so good and terrifying !!!!
This issssssssss one of the bestttt visual novles i've played yet, and I've played ALOT.
one of my fav
Hi really enjoyed your game and i was just wondering if there was a discord or an image board anywhere where i could post fanart cause that would be cool
you can post on tumblr or submit it to my tumblr account here, this is a tumblr where fans of any of my projects interact, so I’d suggest posting there :) : https://www.tumblr.com/monster-sweethearts
I loved this demo! I adored Jackie's character; I love her so much!
I would really love to see more of this game; it's incredible, characters, art, story. Is it yuri/wlw?! You've got me! I really enjoyed the mystery, and the biker seemed like a great character too...
And of course, the truck *wink* *wink*
GOD I LOVE THIS GAME PLEASE COTINUE IT!!!!!
older vampire butch.....
This was very compelling and a perfect way to spend a chilly afternoon! I'm very interested in Jackie and really want to know more about what's going on in her head.
*SPOILERS*
Obviously, she spends a lot of her brainpower trying to keep her freak-flag down around the protagonist, lol. You said that you don't plan to continue this; is there any chance that you might share what's going on here? I have a lot of questions, with the biggest being: what is Jackie's PLAN?? You can't just pick up
the girl you stalkthe love of your life without a plan on how this is going to go down, right? Right?!+ That scene after seeing the biker for the second time (you know the one) has me gagging. (Can I say that?)
;)
Considering the comments and people begging me to finish it, I might go ahead and consider finishing it to answer all your questions. So I won’t go into detail here, you’ll just have to wait and see :p
Hope you don't mind I did a video of your game.
I was so interested in Jackie from the moment I saw her and I really need to know her lore like every detail of her past or her involvement with the MC. She is my ideal type of women id fall for so that's another plus I'm so happy I played this and will keep an eye out for updates.
thanks for playing 😊
Was a pleasure !!
i'm. in love with jackie. i love the tone and art for this game and i also really love that we never see jackie's eyes (which imo adds to her appeal!!) can't wait to see updates/the full game!
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.
damn yeah, i need the full game
It's genuinely a shame that this is only a demo, the writing and the art are really good and I've never felt as engaged in a story I've found on here as I have with this one
this is deadass the best game I’ve played PLEASE FINISH THE GAME ITS SO PEAAKKKK 🙏🙏🙏🙏
omfg sges so fine, older butch come my way
I love this omg waiting for the full game
same
I made an account so i can comment on this. I AM OBSESSED. i really hope you consider adding more to this game as it was such a fun play! I am a Jackie apologist to my detriment
I love everything about this. This is the best IF i've read to date.
OH NO! I wasn't aware this was only a demo! My chat and I were SO invested in this game!! Please continue so we have some sort of resolution for Jackie!
this was amazing you are so amazing....
awesome game dude thx for sharing
really hope you finish this one day im obsessed!!!!
amazing game
i can change her i swear
I loved it so much! Please check it out if you're interested! ❤️
Omg i loved the demo so much! The story telling, the feeling that is something wrong.. i love the atmosphere of this novel so much! Jackie...you can have me whole.please.
