Roads Yet Traveled is a furry dating sim and romance visual novel made by Cryptid in Ren'Py. You play a male protagonist whose routine of moving and starting over is broken when everything disappears, leaving him stranded with no clear way home. The story follows how he adjusts to unfamiliar companions, uncertainty, and new beginnings. It uses 2D CG visuals and a dialogue-driven Ren'Py presentation.
The game is still in development, with v11 released August 22, 2026. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English, without censorship. The latest update added about 30,000 words of new text, one new character sprite, six new backgrounds or CG scenes still marked as work in progress with variations, and one new menu image.
Developer's description
Do you think you can change the world?
No matter who you are, you can only do so much, you have so little time to make a difference.
Like so many times before you are off to your first day of class.
It's not an easy thing, first day jitters, but you manage.
This is your life now, a cycle of moving and new beginnings. Always in flux, nothing staying the same.
And today is no different.
In a flash everything is gone. With no clear way home, how will you manage?
Will your new companions be able to keep you safe? Or will it all be too much?
Keep going though, you have nothing else to lose.

v7.5
So, if you are unaware, this update is just a re-editing of existing content which has cut down on some unnecessary scenes as well as adding some better characterization for the main three guardians. It's a very encompassing edit, and has restructured some of the early days. It's up to day 12 on all routes, and day 14 on Marruk's route. The rest of the edits will be available on patreon this month and public next month.
It's been a lot of work, so let me know how you think they are!
For this update I would -really- appreciate any notes or comments about things that you think either works or doesn't work. Lines you think you are missing or anything like that. Please refrain from generalist statements like "its not as good anymore!" as that doesn't help me!
Also please excuse me if there are a lot of grammatical errors, I've been working as fast as I can, heh, but be sure to point em out! They have probably already been fixed, and will be corrected in the upcoming patreon release.

It's great. Beautiful art, good jokes, great writing, what's not to love? One of if not my favorite VNs I've come across in a hot minute, and the single frame art for stressful, emotional, or important moments, simply breathtaking, I…
