"The Crossroads" Review

Publisher:  Seriphinite Games

Website:  https://seraphinite.itch.io/the-crossroads

Genre:  Visual Novel

Summary:  While looking after a peaceful mansion, a woman gets to know the two handsome staff.

Gameplay:  Gameplay consists of making decisions.  There are a nice variety.

Style:  The main character's name, hair, eyes, and skin tone are customizable.  The backgrounds project the peaceful setting.  Occasional inserts are used sparingly but well.  The music is mostly peaceful as well, but there are a few awkward cues.

Story:  The Crossroads is a very relaxed romance.  There's not a lot of background to the characters and the information behind the supernatural element to the story is extremely thin and very shakily explained.

Conclusion:  The Crossroads doesn't inspire strong feelings, but offers some choices and low-stress romance.
