Hi all!
Thank you for playing through the Interim Crossroads, giving feedback, and posting guides even. I would like to share some information on the new projects that are planned for this year and on which the development is already ongoing. There are two projects planned for this year (depending on the development time, one might be pushed back onto early 2026, but that remains to be seen).
The first one, the shorter project, is as was mentioned before, the final 3rd part to Cold Verdict series which will serve as a conclusion to the story. Another familiar face from the first game will now return in this one...
The second project, which will be longer and bigger, is going to be set in a post-apocalyptic near future world, mainly taking place inside an underground sanctuary. We'll play the role of a volunteer for a gene therapy experiment to make humans able to survive in the new world. Similarly to Interim Crossroads, this VN will have some character stats to keep track of, which will unlock some new options during the in-game choices. Another major element in the story-telling here is that we'll get a choice of our main character being male or female at the start, and this will have an effect on how others will treat you, as well as the available romance options, and even some endings will be possible only with either male or female.
For now there's no title for this project, but once there is a decision on that, I'll mention it in one of the updates.
Thank you for the support! Let's hope this year will prove to be a positive year on all fronts!
