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: ENDYSIS Character art, cover illustration: Pauline Reinacher Background art: Sparrowling CG illustrations: Akua Music: ENDYSIS, Calamanser, ArcanaXIX Ambient SFX: Calamanser Cello performances: ArcanaXIX Created 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.   


Notes: This story takes place in a setting where abuses of power are common. It contains a character subject to unwanted advances, as well as: Mentions of violence, death and blood. Alcohol use. Off-screen animal death. Suggestive themes. Implied themes of grooming. (While both characters are eighteen, there is a noticeable age and power gap between a background character and the protagonist.)
