Third Wheel
Chris, the antelope, wants to date one of his two friends, but his inner self, or "id," has a nasty habit of sabotaging his efforts. This short story is about gay romance and (hopefully) shows what it's like to have intrusive thoughts.
The game contains explicit gay sex scenes!
This is my first-ever game project so I decided to make something small with only three routes and two romanceable characters.
***The third route can only be accessed after seeing both "good" endings of the other two routes and starting a new game***
I hope folks enjoy this tale of feel-good smut!
Third Wheel was made for Nikko's "Love + Attraction" game jam so go check out the other games in the jam! https://itch.io/jam/lovejam2025/entries

This was really good! 😁 I’m honestly not one for shorter VNs, but I’m so glad that I took a chance on this one, because xou did not disappoint in any way 😌
The pacing is perfect, and as a writer myself, I know how hard that can be to get right with a shorter stories, so colour me impressed 😋
And hoo boy, those smut scenes were very satisfying! 😍 The one with Trevor was right up my…alley~ 😏
Great job 🙂 I’d love to read more of xour stuff in the future
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. There will be a third ending in the future. I'm still working diligently on it.
If you'd like to read my other smut, I have galleries on Furaffinity and Sofurry:
Third Wheel is a fun project that expertly written and paced. From what I understand, Stinkdog is a long time Furry writer and their expertise is plain to see be it during the natural dialogue and the erotic moments.
Two points really stuck out to me, however. First and more important in my view, there's a certain lack of drama or any real conflict with these characters. Everything just goes pretty well regardless of your choices which I think saps a little of the potential this setup has to evoke some feels and explore these characters a little more.
The other thing I found lacking is the use of the "Id" character. In thought, it's a pretty nifty idea, offering a streamlined version of the inner voices of Disco Elysium. However, in execution, its presence never coalesces into anything tangible which I think gives the inclusion an almost gimmicky vibe. Things never come to a head, there's no paralyzing moment where the MC is torn between "logic" and Id; they occasionally trade insults and that's it. It's not enough to worsen the experience, but it did make me feel like something is lacking here.
Third Wheel may be a straightforward story where everything goes right but it's really well made one. I recommend for the craft alone, but it's also good for "playing single-handed" if you catch my drift.
