At the start of 2024, still no updates... rip Four Way Junction. I will miss you Sidney ;(
hope you guys are doing well
Missing this... hope you all are doing well.
Real good vn I hope it continues but I understand if its over
Cristian:Ah! a VN who never gonna be finished !
I found this after reading through a Patreon post from another VN I read, and I have to say, I'm DEFINITELY glad I decided to look into this one. This looks like a nice story so far!
I keep getting "an error has occurred" screen during the talk with the receptionist when he is explaining the facilities. It happens every few lines or so.... :(
hmmm....
alec the "seal" (looks like an otter to me XD).
Liked the new update! n_n was good to spend some time with the boys again~ Also, it's nice that we're getting to know them a bit more personally :p I love daddy Arturo the best and I adore Alec's new expressions! ^///^
ohhh its back
rn yes
No
This vn is amazing. From what I played so far this is GREAT!!!! The art to the music to the setting l, just EVERYTHING
I can't to see how the story will turn out. I look forward to the next update :)
When will the next update be?
We're very glad to hear you enjoyed our last update! We are just getting back into developing Four Way Junction again after a much needed hiatus. We will be posting devlogs more regularly until our next update is fully ready!
okay that's understandable hope ur mini break was amazing for u and ur team.
Usually, this type of main character annoys me but he is very endearing with the way he is done! I also liked the variety of... choices as well, body-wise as well! I look forward to future updates to see where things go.
We're really glad you enjoyed our last update, we're really excited to pick up from where we last left off after a much needed hiatus! For more details, please feel free to check out our latest devlog.
Dear developer!
We are a team of ExGames translators. We have read your novella "Four way junction" and would like to ask permission to translate it from the original language into Russian. A lot of people liked your novel, but due to the language barrier they cannot read it in the original. Our team is translating various furry novels into Russian, and in order for people to be able to touch your work, we are asking for your permission to translate. There are a large number of short stories in the list of translations we have, and we would like your short story to join it.
Our translators receive a nominal payment for translation, since the project is supported by donations from Russian-speaking readers. For translation, we use only publicly available versions of novels and, after translation is completed, we post them on a platform similar to Patreon for a period of 1-2 weeks for those who want to get earlier access to the translation. Subsequently, the translation becomes publicly available and any user can download it for free.
For each publication, we always add a link to the page with the novel, and if necessary, we can insert links to your social networks.
We are also ready to provide all the necessary translation files for their implementation in the official assembly, if you are interested in expanding the number of available languages for reading.
We really hope for a positive decision, as we want to further develop the Russian-speaking furry community.
Thanks for your time! Best regards, ExGames Translation Team
Hot... so hot...
I MEAN-
Omg love this game i started playing this recently and i love it. When will the next update come?
Any chance you'll make a Patreon or something?
Is there a Discord server for this VN?
We've discussed the possibility for a Discord server, regardless we still need to figure out how to manage it and what we want to do with it, so we don't short term plans for one.
any new update on this project?
This vn is really good but I find it a bit bothering that there is no punctuation to differentiate between inner thoughts and actual dialogue
when will have full version
its perfect i wait for next update
Any plans on an android version?
Christian is so fluffy I can't stop simping AAAAAAAAAAAA
We're really happy to hear you like Christian's character!
We're very excited to continue to flesh out and expand upon each character's story in the upcoming updates, we really appreciate your feedback!
i already love this and can not wait to see more, i adore all the characters they're so easily loveble and i'm incredibly intrigued to know more about each one of them!
Thank you!
We'll do our best to improve our characters even further with the next updates.
Stay tuned!
Is there NSFW content in this VN's demo or the full future version?
No, maybe in later updates!
Thanks for the clarification
In the current demo, no, there is none, but in the future releases we do have plans to add NSFW content.
I really wanted to try the Demo, but I don't think it works with my type of Mac :O
We're sorry to hear that it doesn't work with your model.
Sadly we don't have a way to change builds for the application, since we don't have Mac equipment.
Hopefully this gets solved with new versions of the engine.
If you’re talking about the Apple Silicon (M1) macs, it will work fine for you! Of course any intel based mac should work as well as the game engine should support x86. The only issue I could see happening is if your mac is outdated or too slow. I really hope this isn't the case because I would also like for you to experience the demo too! Best of luck!
It loads but then crashes so I am stumped, I have an Intel based Mac so I am stumped, other games work fine
this is so incredibly good :o
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are glad you have enjoyed our demo so far. We are diligently working on our next updates and can't wait to have more to show you going forward!
I played the demo and I'm liking it so far! What I like the most is that you chose lesser known species than picking the usual like wolfs, tigers, huskies, etc. You chose, a maned wolf for a protagonist, an uncommon bearcat (binturong), a blue lizard (I don't know what species is he), a seal, a weasel for the taxi driver, an arctic fox, and a freaking PENGUIN!!!! I don't know how much you have in store and other species you're going to pick, but I'm looking forward on your next update.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
As a team, we love a diverse cast, and are excited to unveil more unique designs as we build out the characters for Four Way Junction. We hope to continue to provide you with an equally great experience in upcoming updates!
Liking the story so far, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more! :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! We are really happy to hear you enjoyed the demo, and we hope we can continue in providing you with memorable experiences as we further build out the story and characters!
Hey there.
We apologize but, there are no plans to release an android APK for the current version, since we're moving towards the new content the demo will be left as it is.
We are considering an APK for a future release nonetheless.
Stay tuned for more news.
Just finished going through the demo, and I have to say I am excited to see where this will go! The mac version runs perfectly for me, even through the Rosetta translation so I have no doubts the intel macs can also run this just as well. No bugs or errors thankfully, just a wonderful introduction to the story!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the demo, we have a lot in store for the future, and we are very excited to keep growing the story and improving the game as much as we can!
This may contain spoilers. Stop reading people who haven't played this...

LOL, I was reading the last part of this demo, and when I saw the profile picture of the main character in the text box, I was like: "Dude, Did you just get into the shower with the sunglasses still on?" Even with clothes when Alec ends being the roommate. Anyway, this VN is great. I'll be waiting for more. Thank you!
Thank you for notifying us about Christian wearing clothes during Alec's route! This was a bug and has been corrected in the latest build.
Christian is super attached to his sunglasses, he wears them just about everywhere!
We're really happy you've enjoyed the demo, we hope you'll be equally as excited for our future updates as they come!
Hopefully a Mac version will be made soon. This game looks neat!
Thanks for checking our game!
We do want to release a Mac version in the future, but we will have to rely on people who can try it out to give us feedback, since sadly none of the team members has a Mac to try it out.
If everything goes well, the next build will include a Mac version.
Stay tuned!
This was a super fun little demo! Off to a great start overall. In a market full of horror and thriller visual novels, the potential of a simple feel-good experience is alluring. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store!
In terms of criticism, I have to agree with some of the other commenters that said that the MC seems to spend a bit too much time in his own head. I understand it's a personality trait, but cutting the time spent with internal thoughts and including more time where the MC is actually present in the events of things would make the intro more engaging. There are also a few funky lines in terms of grammar and phrasing, but nothing major.
Oh, and one last thing; Arty's sprite and physical description don't seem to match that well. He's described to be a hefty guy with a belly that gets in his way, but his sprite is more akin to a beefy bodybuilder with a bit of a musclegut. I'm not sure whether adjusting the sprites at this point is feasible, but making him less muscled and perhaps a bit more on the heavy side would help with that discrepancy between his look and physical description. It would also help him feel more distinguishable from Alec, too, who's the real gym enthusiast.
I hope that feedback helps! And in spite of these little issues, I'm very excited to check out your upcoming releases!
We are happy to hear you like our game!
We've been making changes to the dialogue in order to address the feedback we got from it. This will be released in a patch that will correct most of this.
About Arty's sprite, the artist decided to have him with that physique and we changed the description in the text a bit to reflect that better. We do want a guy who enjoys food but still tries to avoid being too sedentary, hahah.
We'll have more info soon!
Will there be a version for Macs in the future? I would really like to give this a try.
Hey there!
Thank you for showing interest in our project.
Right now we are planning to release a Mac version with our next patch, but there's a caveat. None of the team members have a Mac to try the game on, so, we will be releasing these versions kind of blindly.
We would appreciate if the people who try this version would give us feedback in case something needs to be fixed.
Stay tuned!
i'm in luv
It makes us happy to hear that!
