The Point of No Return
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Introduction:
„The Point of No Return“ is the story of Jennifer Turner, a mid-30's woman with a loving husband and a soon to be college bound daughter. Her idyllic smalltown existence is threatened when three fugitives decide to turn her home into a temporary hideout. Jennifer is faced with a decision: Cooperate with the intruders? Or resist them? How far will she go to protect her family? Are her actions going to jeopardize everything she holds dear?
Gameplay:
Jennifer will be confronted with various decisions during this Visual Novel. Over time, those decisions will lead her onto one of the three unique main routes.
So how will she act?
Defiant, confronting the antagonists at every possible turn? Maybe she'll instead try to deceive them into trusting her, waiting for that one opportune moment to strike. Or she'll just be submissive, hoping that this will be the best way to protect her family.
All of these are possible and each route will lead to the final question: Will Jennifer be able to overcome this situation? Or will she cross a line, one that'll never let her go back to her past life. A Point of No Return.
Some more details on what content to expect:
To get the elephant in the room out of the way first: Yes, NTR and sexual corruption are possible contents in this game, but also avoidable, depending on which decisions are chosen.
However, there are no "safe" choices initially, every decision Jennifer takes will eventually lead to her having to deal with the fallout those decisions caused. Additionally, the different main routes the player will embark on will have their own sets of unique characters and scenarios, to give each route a very different feel.
Characters:
Jennifer Turner:
The main character of this story. Happily married with one daughter and working as a highschool librarian, she's a strong-willed 37-years-old woman. Having married very early due to getting pregnant while just out of highschool, she only ever has been seriously romantically involved with her husband.
Maya Turner:
Jennifer's daughter, who recently graduated highschool and is now on her way to college. This young adult may seem like a rebel on the outside, but her upringing in a relatively lower middle-class household formed her into a humble and dilligent person.
Stan Lambert:
Having been involved in a widely publicized kidnapping case, Stan Lambert was supposed to serve a long prison sentence. He, however, had a different plan and is now on the run with his two fellow fugitives. It also happens to be the case that the 38-years-old deliquent knows Jennifer from an incident in the past...
Christopher Aprile:
Christopher Aprile was practically born into organized crime, with his father having been a famous hitman for a mob outfit in upstate NY. However, a botched assassination attempt landed Chris in a California prison. Luckily for him, he made the acquaintance of a man who had a plan to escape the place, Stan Lambert.
Huang Jinrong:
The third of the escapees. Unlike his companions, Huang is the opposite of hot blodded. His former "job" consisted of overseeing the gambling operations of a triad syndicate in the bay area, where cold, calculated reasoning guided his decision making.
Andy Turner:
Andy is the husband of Jennifer and Maya's father. Him and Jennifer were highschool sweethearts and ended up getting married when Jennifer got pregnant in their college junior year. As a university research assisstant, he sometimes has to travel to attend conferences and for his studies, which just happens to be the case at the start of this story.

I'm having trouble down loading on windows. It keeps turning the game into a RAR file and it won't open as a game. What do I need to do?
You need to download all the parts (or just the single file, if you choose the external download links) and then unpack the game with winrar.
This game down not download on my android tablet fix bug I paid for the game
Is the problem that the game doesn't download? In that case, it'd be an issue with the itch servers or your internet connection. If the problem is different, please give me more details.
I'm able to download it but once downloaded it won't work.
Do both parts not work for you? Because they work on my phone (Motorola g22 with android 12), so I'm not sure what the issue could be for you.
Yea I'm not sure either I tried everything I'm connected to my wifi I all 4 of the links for Android and they all download great but when it's done downloading the file won't load.
Is it not loading at all or is it stuck on the renpy "now loading" screen?
I cant extract the file on android, its asks me to install the RAR app and I did but says file is corrupt so I can't install, please fix it and try to make it so I can install it in my main folder
I'm having the exact same problem
Send me a mail at ds23games@gmail.com for further support.
What is the control for doing quick time events
Android ficher Crash
Which of the files crashes?
All the files
@DS23G, Hi there your google drive link seem to be logged and so now i wished to have downloaded this game of yours but i guess i have to wait 24H until i can, i really hoped you could've distributed it to pixeldrain or workupload ect. but i'll wait
Hi. Unfortunately, due to the size of the game, GDrive is one of the only options for single downloads at this point. However, you can still download the multi-link version, directly from the itchio servers. As far as I know, there are no speed and access restrictions, so despite it being 11 links, it should be as quick as the single GDrive download would be.
What about MEGA?
Added MEGA links for PC and Mac
Thank you Dev! I really enjoyed the game though I was a bit disappointed with there being no animated scenes at all :( Still gave ya 4 stars though
ninguém aguenta mais mulher de cabelo raspado, é ridículo!
Hi i went to unzip after downloaded & it hasnt ket me i believe i got the quarantine message
which is weird since I was able to download & play Private Eyes & Secret Desires fine
Did you use the single or multi-link download?
Probably multi link but ill give single a go over the weekend
Yeah, try that. One of the files maybe didn't download correctly and got corrupted in the process.
I finished the whole thing, all choices, all endings. (SPOILER ALERT.)
It's one of the best games I've ever played. Damn near perfect. I do think it would have been better if Stan had been a black guy, but I know that would have required a lot of changes to the whole second part of the story, seeing as how he works with skinhead bikers and all. But still, it seems like the perfect role for a black man, and the fact that he isn't seems like a wasted opportunity.
Other than that, I just wish that, on the Resistance route, there would have been an ending where Maya decides to Stay with Stan and/or Stan gets the upper hand and takes out Jennifer and John. Because I think Stan and Maya are a super-hot couple, much hotter than Stan and Jennifer, and I would have liked to see more possibilities where Stan and Maya end up together. The idea of Maya willfully betraying Jennifer for Stan in the end is super hot, but no such ending exists. Another wasted opportunity.
So, do you have a sequel in mind? If you choose not to execute Stan in the end on the Resistance route, that should come back to haunt the Turner family in the future, don't you think?
Anyway, thank you. Excellent job. And I look forward to more great things for you in the future! :)
Thanks for the kind words. I have no immediate plans for more TPoNR content, as my new projects take up all my free time. In the future, I might expand on some of the endings though.
Cool. Keep up the great work.
Stan should have been a black guy.
I thought this was a complete game! John entered the tournament at the fight club, and then it just ended. I guess he lost the tournament? It would have been nice to actually see that happen. Not just "If he can win this, we might have a real chance at bringing Maya back..." and then just fade to black and "Thanks for playing!" What a let-down! And it was such an awesome storygame leading up to that...
Hi. You stumbled upon a pretty strange bug, since Jennifer's choice to refuse to participate in the tournament has been removed from the final version. I double checked the script and there should be no way to actually get to that line anymore. What were your last two decisions?
The last was "Enter the tournament" or "Refuse him." And the second to last was "Look for a trail to Maya at the club" or "Join Brock and Samantha."
And there's another dead end after getting the information about Maya and Autumn's whereabouts from Ralph after banging him. He calls the next morning, John teaches Jennifer how to shoot, she goes back to her hotel room and thinks, "(Even if the price I paid for that information was... high.)" Then fade to black, next screen, "Thanks for playing." Very awkward place to end.
I just remembered. I downloaded it from F95zone because, when I clicked on the link to download it here, a warning message came up saying, "WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined. Our system has flagged this page for additional review due to potential suspicious behavior from the page owner." So I thought it best to steer clear of downloading it here. Downloading from F95 gave no such warning. And it says v1.0 there too, so it should be the same thing.
>I downloaded it from F95zone
Then you download an outdated version. This is 1.0b, which includes bug fixes and other corrections.
> when I clicked on the link to download it here, a warning message came up saying, "WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined. Our system has flagged this page for additional review due to potential suspicious behavior from the page owner."
Have you tried the multi-link version or the single-link, external GDrive version? The single link one shouldn't give you any issues normally, since it's literally coming from the google servers. As for the internal itch links: I've never heard anyone getting a virus or malware from downloading games from the itch.io servers. So it's most likely your browser security being a little too cautious.
I clicked on "Single File Download" for Windows. It gave me the warning message...
I will throw caution to the wind and download from here anyway. What the fuck am I paying McAfee $150 a year for anyway? Wish me luck...
So, I tried downloading it with a VPN, since downloading from my own IP gave me no issues. I also got the same warning from itch, when I did it with the VPN. I'm pretty sure I'm currently shadowbanned, which is most likely because some joker uploaded one of my new projects on here, without asking me. I only discovered the unauthorized upload, after I had uploaded the official version on here myself. I guess itch staff saw two pages for the same game on here, got sus and now has shadowbanned both accounts, until they (hopefully) come to the conclusion that my account is the real developer of the game.
So, in short, you don't have to worry about any viruses, this is because of the current shadowban.
Game hasn't had an update in 2 years, yet is still "in development"? 👎
nice story... but why does the mom dress like that? it's unfortunate
Hi, I tried your game in android. i properly placed the folder in the obb then install the apk. When I started the game it forces me to back home screen, then sometimes it just loading screen then forcing me back again in home screen. Should I put the obb file in SDCard?
Can someone help me please? Does anyone downloaded it in Android?
You need to first install the apk file. Then you move the com.ds23.tponr folder into the obb folder in the android directory (It should look like this: root directory/Android/obb/com.ds23.tponr/main.16.com.ds23.tponr.obb
It's important to install the apk file before moving the folder to the obb directory, as some versions of Android apparently won't start the game otherwise.
Hope this helps.
Game does not open in android.
have you properly placed the obb folder?
The game has a problem with how it handles new/seen text. Replaying different choices in order to see different routes, large blocks of text are treated as "new", even if only a few sentences or paragraphs are new in reality. This means you cannot use the "skip seen text" option, and have to resort to "skip all", which inevitably results in missing some text.
Just like all visual novels, only the actual new sentences should be treated as "unseen", not the whole scene they are in. Currently this makes the game undesirable for multiple playthroughs.
Why'd your game drop off the recent lists? I was using it as a point of reference.
The trojan icon thing is something one of the other games I follow dealt with, they've fixed it too.
The game's called Monster Girl Dreams which can also be found on this site. Check their discord and ask around, if you still care to fix it.
Could also promote your game there if you like, just don't expect much reception because of the NTR
Thanks for the info, might look into that.
