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 hand-drawn artwork. Watch the scenes unfold through storybook-inspired visuals and three detailed ending illustrations. 

An emotional original score featuring cello performances by ArcanaXIX. 

One knightly kiss on the hand. A must for fans of tender romances and stories featuring childhood friends to lovers.
