Story: Hearts on Parole

Welcome to Hearts on Parole, a mostly linear, romance-focused AVN set in Lone River, a lively town in “good ol’ USA.” You play as Byron Boldston, a probation and parole officer haunted by a painful history of loss.

Your job is to supervise people on probation and parole—yes, that’s the theme. Along the way, Byron will cross paths with many individuals: some familiar, others completely new. Love, heartbreak, and redemption all wait somewhere ahead. The big question is whether Byron embraces these opportunities and risks his career—or refuses them to stay loyal to his duties and to the people he’s lost. In Lone River, anything can happen.

The office is open. Come in and have some fun.
