About this game
Going Your Own Way is a visual novel that allows you to make choices that will help a young man trying to understand his place in the world while dealing with the recent ending of a long-term relationship, the challenges of modern dating, and a toxic workplace.
This isn't a fantasy. You aren't wealthy or famous. You aren't an expert with the ladies or extraordinarily buff. You are fairly average and were leading a pretty average life until you took your fiancée to a tropical island only to return alone.
Now you are picking up the pieces and trying to move on as best you can. You work an increasingly frustrating corporate desk job. You rent an apartment you can no longer afford by yourself. Sometimes you are lonely; sometimes you can't stand people.
In this story, you will visit not-so-exotic places such as your office, the gym, local bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. What path do you want to take?
Want to stay in shape? Maybe visit the gym.
Want to meet someone? Perhaps check out the bar scene.
Maybe after a long day at work, you just want to head home, play video games, and be alone.
You will meet and interact with people – some good and some... less so. What are the rewards or consequences for how you treat people? The choice is yours.
What does your future hold for you? Should you take advice from friends and family?
Are you a relationship guy who wants to hold out to meet someone special, or are you lonely and willing to just settle for your turn with someone to avoid being alone?
Maybe you are the type that prefers to avoid people or relationships altogether and instead be a man who goes his own way?
Going Your Own Way pokes fun at the modern dating environment, relationships, and corporate workplace.
Do you lean blue-pill or red-pill? Will your view of the real-world influence your decisions?

Episode Three News
I want to provide updates on Steam about Going Your Own Way Episode Three every few months and since we're about 6 months past episode two's release, it seems like we're about due. Episode three is essentially fully written (aside from touch ups and additions that occur as images are being produced) and choices are coded. Images are in production and will be for the next several months. My goal is to check in here every few months with another update until episode three is ready.In other news, I have an update for episode two in the works that will fix some spelling/grammar errors that have been found. It's not currently at the top of my priority list though.If you are interested in more frequent updates, I do post free weekly updates elsewhere online. Following social media links on the store page or doing a quick search for Heavenshire Stories and Going Your Own Way should lead you to my posts.~HSRead full article on Community Announcements (heavenshire.stories)Patch NotesOfficial
GYOW Episode Two v 1.2.1
Greetings! While working on Going Your Own Way Episode Three, it was discovered that some (not all) FantastiMatch profile variables were not added into the story. This is not something that testing would have caught because these variables were not being used in episode two. This update adds the missing variables and should be completely transparent to the episode two experience. If you have already played episode two, you may want to replay before episode three if you used FantastiMatch in order to set the variables, but there shouldn't be any need to replay if you don't want to. We will do our best to work around the ones that were missing in episode three and beyond. Episode three is currently in the writing stage. ~HSRead full article on Community Announcements (heavenshire.stories)AnnouncementsOfficial
Going Your Own Way Episode Two is now available!
Going Your Own Way Episode Two is finally available! Thank you for your patience. It took a few more months than anticipated, but we have finally completed the second leg of this journey and present it to you. Episode Two picks up where Episode One ended. You'll have new adventures, meet new people, and likely have the same sort of comedic and frustrating moments you had in Episode One while journeying deeper into the story. We hope you enjoy it!***If you have played Episode One but not since the 1.02 update in June 2025, please replay Episode One as there were some changes that may cause the game to not properly reflect the choices you made.***Read full article on Community Announcements (heavenshire.stories)Patch NotesOfficial
Going Your Own Way Episode One v 1.03.2
Version 1.03.2 of Going Your Own Way Episode One has been released. This update contains a few minor spelling/grammar errors and a couple fixes to images that were discovered during Episode Two testing. There was also some work done on the backend to prepare for the Episode Two DLC release. None of the changes should affect your previously saved games. If you have not played Episode One since the 1.02 update (released June 2025) and will be playing Episode Two, it is highly advised that you go back and play through Episode One. The 1.02 update contained changes that could misalign previous choices made during Episode One.Read full article on Community Announcements (heavenshire.stories)Patch NotesOfficial
