Trails Lead Home is an (overly ambitious) fantasy game with an emphasis on relationships and starting anew. The aim is to hopefully make the player’s choices matter in some way and to affect the characters and world around them. The end goal is to create a story that tells the tale of new found family and learning to be okay with starting one’s life over.

– Plans for platonic relationships with the characters. Be adopted by a couple seeking the chance to start their own family, gain either a new sibling who strives to defend the weak or a thief who enjoys sharing her bounties with you, or enter the strange world of a rich business savvy friend who becomes an unlikely uncle or mentor!

– Play as a child seeking a new family,  a young adult exploring the wonders of adulthood, or an ‘older’ adult who’s world wise! Set your pronouns, age, favorite drink, height, and personality! 

– Learn magic, develop new skills, and form lasting bonds with five romances (who can also be pursued platonically) + one ‘secret’ romance! Romance a polygamous couple or three ‘monogamous’ ro’s!

– The current demo includes a total of 25,932 words w/out code!

- Galeon and Hollond are a pre-stablished couple that can be poly-romanced by an older MC or can adopt a child/young adult mc as their child!

- Finlay is a lonesome knight of the realm who struggles with putting the people they love before their job. They can be romance monogamously or adopted as a sibling!

- Greta is a mischievous young woman and thief who can be romanced monogamously or adopted as a sibling.

- Lesilfae is a (self proclaimed) master of persuasion who can be romanced monogamously, helped into a relationship with Galeon and Hollond, or adopted as a mentor/nervous parent.

- Secret RO is female but more details are yet to be shared…

- A small warning is in place for language, vague mentions of neglect and familial strife.

- A linear prologue with potential grammar and language mistakes.

- While this isn’t a warning, I want to state that there are a LOT of LGBTQ+ characters and characters of color in Trails. I will NOT change any character’s skin colors nor will I accept whitewashing of any kind and I will not accept any transphobia, homophobia, or anything of that nature. If you have a problem with that, then I suggest moving on to another game. This is a safe space.

When will the next update be available?

– It will, unfortunately, be ready when it’s ready. Trails is a hobby that I do for fun, so updates will be slow.

Where can I find information on the characters?

– Currently, there isn’t really any place with good info on the characters. I’m working on profiles and on a character page where you can learn more about the characters.

What asks are allowed?

– I will answer nsfw (tagged), ‘headcannons’, what if’s, clarifications, etc.

– I will NOT answer pregnancy asks, asks about killing characters, or asks that want a character changed in any way.
