About the Game

Fork in the Road combines the best aspects of SNES RPGs and Visual Novels with Hollywood films of the 1940s -- the noirs, the dramas, the screwball comedies -- in a tale of interlocking desires and all-too-human consequences.

You play as Joe, a young sailor who's fallen in love with a model, Irene. She's invited him to a dinner party in the country, hosted by the wealthy couple Fran and Robert. Also in attendence is Edith, Fran's secretary, and the household staff of Otto, the butler, and Molly, the maid. But what Joe doesn't know is that there's a suspicious plot in action, involving precious jewels and a gun locked below the stairs...
