Trail of Stars

A noble lord brings two squires along on a hunt. One is a gentle boy who should not exist. The other is a girl who dreams of plunging a dagger into her master’s heart.Trail of Stars is a short, bittersweet visual novel about two vulnerable souls navigating first love, growing up, and protecting what they have—when all they have is each other.A short and (bitter)sweet tale, under 3k words with two endings. A moving story you can finish in one sitting. Beautiful visuals. Fairy-tale scenes are laid out like a storybook along with three fully rendered illustrations. An emotional original score featuring cello performances by ArcanaXIX. One knightly kiss on the hand. A must for fans of tender romances and childhood-friends-to-lovers.Story, programming, GUI, logo, project direction: ENDYSISCharacter art, cover illustration: Pauline ReinacherBackground art: SparrowlingCG illustrations: AkuaMusic: ENDYSIS, Calamanser, ArcanaXIXAmbient SFX: CalamanserCello performances: ArcanaXIXCreated in one month for Sealed with a Kiss Jam (2025).See more of this world (and the characters many years in the future) in my upcoming game The Last Winter Knight.
