JACKKNIFE
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
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.
Features:
- 13,900 words
- 9 cgs
- 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: https://llonelly.itch.io/monster-sweethearts-recut

I really hope you’re gonna finish it one day because this is awesome. I love her so much and everything was just perfect.
PLEASE finish it i'm obsessed !
THIS IS SO AMAZINGGGG,,, I love me my trucker killers, if anyone is seeking a great movie I recommend the Joy ride (2001) movies! (1 & 2 preferably) ... I love Jackies character and the game hooked me in well. Amazing work, you did such a great job <3 !!!!
This game had me so geeked up, I LOVED IT!!! I know you dont plan to finish this game specifically, but this game is so special to me as somemone who LOVES visual novel. Jackie is a baddie also
not a regular vn it is somth special
I'm sooo glad I found this game in a sea of visual novels
if anyone who sees this is considering playing, please play !!!
I absolutely LOVED this visual novel! Quite a great story indeed, super immersive as well. And the fact we slowly begin to figure what jackie really is was quite a treat. Definitely underrated for sure. Would personally love to see a full game! Made a video on it.
thanks for the video! Happy you enjoyed it.
FINALLY A GAME WITH A WOMAN SPECIAL ART
AH HELL YEAH just how I like it
OMG FINALLY A GAME WITH A WOMAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
This is one of my favorite games ever now! you did an awesome job, I hope you decide to continue it.
Omg I loved this so much. Especially having a butch be the interest ugh. I hope u decide to finish this game!! I want an ending with her where she doesn't eat me lol
Hi! I really enjoyed playing Jackknife — the story and atmosphere are amazing!
I'm a volunteer translator trying to build my portfolio.
I'd love to translate Jackknife into Turkish for free and help with localization if you're interested.
Please let me know what you think 🙂
thanks for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the video ❤️
Please consider making this a full game. It's so good!! The art style, the concept, design, etc. It's truly an incredible game and i hope you finish it! <3
pls add a good ending if theres isnt one. I NEED MORE.. and i wanna see her eyes :D
I'm sooo glad I found this game in a sea of visual novels, and none of them have perfectly fit the type of gay thriller game i enjoy. Lesbian supernaturals, please save MEEEEEEEE
this game was genuinely so amazing!! its so rare to find these type of games nowadays and it has sososo much potential and it was such a fun experience choosing different choices and exploring different responses to see how itll affect the story and learning more about Jackie!! im REALLYYY hoping this game will be continued cuz it was so good. Definitely big recommend!!
this game was fabulously yummy! i played it a bit ago and its never left my mind! if anyone who sees this is considering playing, please play !!!
this game is acc so good oh my geez. it would be sick if you continued it :>
loved this soooo much
I'm going to start by saying that this game has fascinated me in every possible way. The story is intriguing, both the character design and the arstyle are sublime, the music chosen for each situation, the backgrounds... absolutely everything is amazing.
Llonelly, if you read this, please, finish this work of art! Honestly, very few games have made me feel what this one has. Great job!!! <3
Just read that you don't plan on finishing this game but I really think you should!! It was so great to play and very intriguing. Please finish it I'd love to play it!
Been low key obsessed with your games since Monster Sweethearts and I was devastated and a little worried when Cryptid Courting was seemingly wiped from the internet. I'm glad to see that you're working on something new, and the demo was insane! Very cool atmosphere and even from the little we get to see of the characters, the writing and characters are very intriguing. Can't wait to see how the full game pans out!
thank you! I hope to be able to share more projects with you ˃ 𖥦 ˂
Truly a blast! I was honestly in disbelief when I saw the email lol. As a big fan of Monster Sweethearts, I was hyped for another visual novel to obsess over. And it's got another butch character, I am always happy to see more butches everywhere. I do hope we get to see more of this story, I am dying to know more, (blood)thirsty if you will..
Hehe I’m happy you enjoyed it! ´ཀ`
i want her so bad, i will stay in the truck, i dont see any red flag, matter of fact, im blind in my left eye and 43% blind in my right eye.
(っ҂ཀ•)っ ah im blind!
This is so good, the art style, the vibes. Everything is so beautiful.The music carries the mood on it. This is genuinely lovely. You've grown so much as an artist since Monster Sweetheart. This is genuinely beautiful.
thank you! I’m glad you liked it.ᢉ𐭩
