The Point of No Return [v1.0] [DS23Games]

April 15, 2024F95

The Point of No Return“ is the story of Jennifer Turner, a mid-30s woman with a loving husband and a soon-to-be college-bound daughter. Her idyllic small-town existence is threatened when three fugitives decide to turn her home into a temporary hideout. Jennifer is faced with a decision: Cooperate with the intruders? Or resist them? How far will she go to protect her family? Are her actions going to jeopardize everything she holds dear?

Gameplay:
Jennifer will be confronted with various decisions during this Visual Novel. Over time, those decisions will lead her onto one of the three unique main routes.
So how will she act?
Defiant, confronting the antagonists at every possible turn? Maybe she’ll instead try to deceive them into trusting her, waiting for that one opportune moment to strike. Or she’ll just be submissive, hoping that this will be the best way to protect her family.
All of these are possible and each route will lead to the final question: Will Jennifer be able to overcome this situation? Or will she cross a line, one that’ll never let her go back to her past life? A Point of No Return.

Characters:
Jennifer Turner:

The main character of this story. Happily married with one daughter and working as a high school librarian, she’s a strong-willed 37-years-old woman. Having married very early due to getting pregnant while just out of high school, she only ever has been seriously romantically involved with her husband.

Maya Turner:

Jennifer’s daughter recently graduated high school and is now on her way to college. This young adult may seem like a rebel on the outside, but her upbringing in a relatively lower-middle-class household formed her into a humble and diligent person.

Stan Lambert:

Having been involved in a widely publicized kidnapping case, Stan Lambert was supposed to serve a long prison sentence. He, however, had a different plan and is now on the run with his two fellow fugitives. It also happens to be the case that the 38-years-old delinquent knows Jennifer from an incident in the past…

Christopher Aprile:

Christopher Aprile was practically born into organized crime, with his father having been a famous hitman for a mob outfit in upstate NY. However, a botched assassination attempt landed Chris in a California prison. Luckily for him, he made the acquaintance of a man who had a plan to escape the place, Stan Lambert.

Huang Jinrong:

The third of the escapees. Unlike his companions, Huang is the opposite of hot-blooded. His former “job” consisted of overseeing the gambling operations of a triad syndicate in the bay area, where cold, calculated reasoning guided his decision-making.

Andy Turner:

Andy is the husband of Jennifer and Maya’s father. He and Jennifer were high school sweethearts and ended up getting married when Jennifer got pregnant in their college junior year. As a university research assistant, he sometimes has to travel to attend conferences and for his studies, which just happens to be the case at the start of this story.

Changelog:

v1.0

Here we are, the big one, version 1.0. After close to 4 years of development time, several pieces of broken hardware and me losing more and more sanity because of the monstrosity of a script I created, it’s finally reality.

Jennifer’s story is now coming to a close. It took 10,209 renders in total, with 3 main routes, leading to 17 endings. It’s been a long road and I had to conduct several modifications on a script, that started, in hindsight, way too ambitious. But even though this is a more slimmed down and streamlined version of my original vision for the story, it still pleases me to present it to you today. So, enjoy the full story, that’s not at your hand.

TPoNR marks my first VN release, but it won’t be the last, as I have new projects already in the pipes and ideas for the future in my notes. I hope you’ll be along for the ride.

I want to thank all of my supporters for helping making this possible. Without your support, this story wouldn’t be out here today or, most likely, ever.

Also, version 1.0 doesn’t mean I won’t touch TPoNR anymore. There will be patches, if need. So, if you happen to find any pathing errors or other bugs, please feel free to contact me via dm or on discord. Thanks.

Developer Notes:

What your Patreon contributions would be used for:

– Quality control: Hiring someone to proofread the in-game text before every update, to avoid potentially releasing a game riddled with typos and bad grammar.

– Hardware updates: Not a pressing issue, but something that I need to address at some point since future versions of the game will include bigger scenes and also animations. So updating my hardware would help a lot when it comes to significantly reduce rendering time (and thus, development time as a whole)

– Turning this into a full-time project: Right now, this game is a passion project, so ultimately, my real job comes first (gotta pay those bills). But if it gains enough interest, I’d scale down my work hours and put that time into the game instead, maybe even completely dedicating my time to it.

– Enhancing the audio experience: Currently, the game uses royalty-free music and sounds. I’m not necessarily unhappy with that, but things could be improved by commissioning custom music and probably even
