Player Comments:

the game is good, wish there was a virgin or pregnancy element to it, the scenes are drawn well same with the rest of the game too so far, character are gorgeous, hope there are some light hearted elements or maybe some darker ones but other than that i can't think of anything that would make this game better than it already is so five stars 100%.

Okay, quick hot take from someone who got sucked in way longer than planned, Crossing the Lines is one of those early-access VNs that actually feels alive. I went in expecting another “choices matter” game where… they actually don’t. But here? The choices do matter.You’re Emily, 22, juggling school, money, friends, and way too many tempting situations. The game’s great at making even small decisions shift the vibe of your whole run. Not in the fake “option A or B, same outcome” way, I’m talking actual little forks that change how Emily feels, who she leans on, and what trouble she finds. You can keep her neat and squeaky-clean, or slide her into spicier territory. No “right” path, just whatever you choose, and the consequences that come with it.The cast is what really hooked me. They’re messy, distinct, and memorable, Vicky and Charlotte stood out right away, and Mrs. Harris/the teacher brings this weirdly tense energy I’m here for. It’s not just stock love interests either, you’ve got friends who might turn into something more, shady types, flings, criminals, and some solid family drama. Everyone feels like they’re pulling Emily in different directions, and the writing doesn’t moralize, so you can really shape her however you want: steady, chaotic, or somewhere in between.For an alpha, the UI’s surprisingly thoughtful. The phone tracker logs stats, bios, and a “Path” tab so you remember your big choices after a break. There’s a Scene Gallery, visible money HUD, and legit branching with jobs, love interests, cheating routes, morality checks… it already feels like a proper VN, not just a linear story pretending to have choices.Visually, it’s rocking a clean, expressive 2D art style, which is a nice change from the flood of samey 3D renders. Scenes, wholesome and otherwise, have personality. Sure, a few could use more polish, but the charm’s there. Pacing-wise, yeah, it’s still early days, but updates are frequent and the dev clearly listens.Right now, my Emily’s run feels completely my own, which is the best thing I can say about a choice-driven game. If they keep this pace, it could easily become one of those sleeper-hit VNs everyone talks about. Until then, I’m just seeing how far I can push Emily without totally wrecking her life… though maybe that’s half the fun.

This is a definitely a sleeper hit of game and hopefully have tons of support in the future.Story: Very interesting as there are tons of direction you can take Emily (MC) to many different direction. Will she be the good and pure girl who strong against all obstacle or will she succumb to her own desires and do immoral actions like being a criminal who sleeps around many people.Character: Very colorful and diverse cast that will help shape Emily to whoever she be. From your close adoptive family, close friends turn lovers, flings, criminals, and a seductive teacher who loves to play with her slaves, the variety is endless. My personal favorite are Vicky, Charlotte and Mrs. Harris.Art: Pretty good 2d art and very unique and charming. After pilfering through way too many 3d arts, I like some 2d artwork and its sex scenes. Definitely could need some polishing here and there, but so far, I like it.Gameplay: Honestly though, this game have tons of branching choices and consequences that that lives up to the VN name. Different LI path, cheating routes, jobs you can take to make money and the morality choices. Plus with the addition of the phone tracker, you can track your stats, paths and relationship points to see where you stand. I will say, its better than 90% of the Ren'py VN I played and that cause most Ren'py VN barely have choices and its just a linear story.Overall, this game is very fun have tons of potential and I can't wait to see what the game unfold.

Final Verdict:

You play Emily, a 22-year-old student struggling with money problems, studies, friendships, romantic relationships, and the weight of unspoken family secrets. Torn between loyalty and temptation, love and sex, she must navigate a world where every choice will change her future. With a branching (non-linear) story, morally complex characters and adult themes such as seduction, manipulation and morality, Crossing the Lines invites players to write Emily’s destiny. Which lines will you be crossing?
