Do you like naked cat boys? Well I have some exciting news from indie developer, Cats on a Lilypad Studios! After years in development, the team released their modern fantasy boys love visual novel, The Inn Between on Steam Early Access. While this isn’t the full release, it is a huge step for the team after hitting quite a few road bumps over the years as they worked to bring this project to life.
The Inn Between follows Myka Riley as he is pulled into a hidden world of gods and magic to uncover the truth behind his forgotten past and his lost family. Can Myka navigate his new reality? As his new relationships bloom, will he succeed in his quest for identity? Or will the forces of an ancient fate claim a long sought victory?
The early access version of The Inn Between includes the entirety of the game’s common route (nine chapters) with three distinct endings. In the proposed road map, the team plans to release the rest of the story in batches until the game is complete.
