About This Game

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.

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:
