Where Will You Go

Where Will You Go follows a deceptively simple premise: a driver picks up a hitchhiker on a forgotten stretch of highway, and what unfolds is far more consequential than either character could have anticipated. Mykanthrope crafts an intimate narrative that uses the confined space of a car—and the open road ahead—as both literal and metaphorical setting for two men to discover connection and possibility.

As a visual novel built in HTML5 and available on Windows, the game prioritizes storytelling over elaborate mechanics. You're reading, making choices, and watching how those decisions reshape the emotional trajectory of both characters. The writing balances vulnerability with realism; this isn't fantasy romance, but rather the kind of encounter that could actually happen, complete with its own awkwardness and tenderness. Mykanthrope handles the intimate moments with maturity—explicit sexual content is woven into the narrative rather than presented as discrete set pieces, and the game includes content warnings upfront about explicit scenes and potential drug use.

The developer's solo effort (art, writing, and programming all credited to Mykanthrope, with editing support from Icefang and title music by ChannelDark) gives the work a cohesive voice, though the creator notes some sprite display issues that cropped up during final assembly. These are acknowledged bugs rather than game-breaking flaws, and they don't substantially interfere with the reading experience. At roughly three screenshots of content, this is a compact experience—the kind you'll finish in one or two sittings—but it's densely written enough to leave an impression. The game was an entry in the May Wolf 2025 Awoooopocalypse FVN Jam, which explains its tight scope and focused narrative.
