The Hero’s Journey by maneki_mushi

You are a hero; the Hero, in
fact, who has just put an end to the Villain terrorising the island,
ending your long quest. But you remember nothing of it; not the
quest, not the woman claiming to be your fiancée, not your amazing
deeds and immense riches. Five years have been wiped clean from your
mind.
When the Villain’s minions continue to cause trouble,
you must travel once more, this time in search of your forgotten
memories. But the more you remember, the less the stories ring true.
The Hero’s Journey is a visual
novel/otome set in a medieval fantasy setting. It features two
separate routes that, while following the same journey, offer
different choices and a different set of companions.

Aerona, Rhain, Ikemma and Emrys are romanceable.
The game features:

four chapters and multiple endings (spanning 175k words)
a predefined protagonist with a past that is already written, but whose future is yours to choose
four love interests
30 CGs
two routes offering you a different approach to the same journey
a new game+ mode which increases your stats and allows you to get better endings

There are also two DLCs for this game!
The NSFW edition replaces the scenes in Chapter 3 and 4 with detailed intimate scenes and CGs. You can buy it here:

The booklet (which you can purchase here or along with the NSFW DLC for a discount) has over 90 pages of extra content.
It contains:

20k words and a few illustrations
multiple stories from the love interests’ point of view
some trivia about the characters
a detailed walkthrough of the game and how to obtain the different CGs and epilogues
a look at THJ’s development, previous versions and old art

THJ is complete, but don’t hesitate to report any bugs, issues or things that seem weird! I’ll still provide help and make fixes if needed.

A note for players on Mac:
Some Mac users can’t run the game, or the game freezes when they try to save, change their settings or see a CG.
If you encounter this problem, you can try these solutions:

Right-click on the game app -> Enable Write permissions.
Right-click the game app -> Click “Show package contents” -> Open “Contents” folder -> Open “Mac OS” folder -> Double-click on the executable called “The Hero’s Journey”. This will launch the game through the terminal.

This VN is intended for mature
readers.
Please be advised that THJ is an overall harsh story taking place in a harsh world. Some of the choices offered to you are morally reprehensible and possibly distressing.The game has mentions of death, injury, child abandonment, sexual assault and child abuse. Your choices can lead to explicit violence and some of the art depicts blood.
