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.

I can't with these deliciously written scenarios- I'm- so...somft 😭😭❤️😭😭❤️😭❤️ i wanna hug and love the feck out of them all, squish their cheeks and give lots of kisses

... I'm so sorry for spamming your inbox I'M JUST REALLY INTO YOUR GAME AND YOUR CHARACTERS AND THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE SO-👌😩

Can we have a scenario where someone was insistently flirting with RO (and making them uncomfy) and MC, taking matters in their hand, just strolled over to RO, smooched their cheek while saying something "sorry, my love, were you waiting for me long?"

(in crushing stage, but the crush at this point was reciprocated so much that it was nearly physically painful to watch these two dancing over the topic)

Romancing 💕

Painful romance (featuring the GotD ROs)

Note: It's perfectly fine! I'm actually really happy to have someone so interested in the story and the characters, it really makes me motivated to write the story to completion :D I'll be referring to the flirt as Person A so there's not much confusion. :)

This got pretty long so the rest of the ROs are under the cut :D

•:•.•:•.•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•☾☼☽•:•.•:•.•:•:•:•:•:•:•:•

Alistair isn't one that really gets flirted with much. He may flirt back with other people or entertain them, but if he's already interested in someone he's definitely shutting down any and all attempts towards him. If in the chance that someone is as persistent as person A is he'd be pretty pissed in trying to shut them down, pretty vulgar about it too. When MC comes strolling over, he'd be even more irritated since he thinks that MC might take this in a different light but when MC kisses his cheek and says those words, this man's going to get an incredible boost of confidence. He'd immediately have his arm wrapped around MC's waist, pulled flush against him and murmur "Damn right I've been waiting long". When he addresses person A, he'd me a little less irked and more cocky (more than usual) and speak to person A in a really formal manner (he's still the heir of course) while lowkey insulting them before he'd pull MC away.

Emrys shows his disinterest in the way he looks and speaks to people. As an heir, he's chosen to not be as crude as Alistair and not as hesitant as P. He'll definitely drop some lines like "I have somewhere to be" or "It would be interesting to talk about but perhaps not now" all the while sipping wine while looking away. He also stands at a distance so to have someone blatantly push themselves onto him, he's pretty much unsure of what to do if he's used all the tips and tricks he's learned to avoid conversations and people; which is a lot, let me tell you now. To have MC come to his rescue, he admits isn't a good look for him but he immediately makes it up by reacting appropriately. "There you are, my love..." He'd whisper. He'd place his hand on the small of MC's back and smile fondly at MC before he turns to person A, he'd address him as coldly as possible. Em can only take so much and he has very little patience with people to begin with so this isn't exactly unwarranted, "I have shown my disinterest in you and your topics. Please leave us be before something unpleasant happens. I am asking nicely this time." Doesn't really wait for a response before he drinks the rest of his wine, gives the glass to a servant before he turns to leave with MC along with him.

P isn't as formal as their siblings and acts based on their emotions majority of the time. This doesn't mean they are good with them. They'd try to be as polite as possible in turning down the person while being direct, even trying to walk away from the situation. They don't really do well with confrontation and are very impulsive so they might blurt out that they're already seeing someone even if MC and them aren't a thing yet. When MC comes to their aid, they're definitely going to melt and be very thankful. They'd try to wrap their arm around MC's shoulder or waist but because of their nerves, they might just hold MC's hand instead. They'd look at MC to have a jolt of confidence before turning to person A and just outright telling them to leave. "I don't like you in any of the ways you're implying. I have someone that I adore and they are the person beside me right now. Please leave... Or else you'll be thrown out." They usually don't use their position as a royal in order for things to go their way as they really really hate being a royal. But, this time, it's necessary. They won't be as calm in their escape since they're literally running through the halls with MC behind them.

Yeriel has had a fair share of people trying to flirt with them and each time they've never really shown any interest in them. That also comes with pushy flirts like person A and they've learnt how to deal with it. Entertain them for as long as possible without promising anything. But it dawns on Yeriel that person A is incredibly pushy and doesn't take any vague answers or replies that deny them of what they want. There are only a handful of things that make Yeriel uncomfortable but this is definitely added to the pile. They'd be really polite in shutting person A down, saying that they're already interested in someone. When MC comes to the rescue, they'd definitely feel relieved. It would take them a while to respond to person A because they're literally just staring at MC with heart eyes and just admiring them, one hand gently caressing their hand that Yeriel unconsciously reached out for. When they do address person A they'll still be polite and wait for them to leave. Yeriel's not budging, they're glued to place, their thumb still gently rubbing over MC's knuckles the whole time.

Flirting is something Seiraya is sure they're good at. So when person A flirts with them, Sei is flirting back out of habit. None of the words they say mean anything though and most are just the cheesy stupid flirtatious remarks that Sei is sure would turn someone off and leave them alone. Bad move, it interests person A more. Definitely bothered and concerned to the point that they'd just do an awkward/nervous laugh at the comments. When MC comes to their rescue, they're definitely relieved. Will be surprised at the gesture though which immediately catches them off guard and they'll end up stuttering a bit towards MC like "O-oh... you're... you're finally here...." Their voice might crack a little too. They'd have to clear their throat, give them a minute, before replying to person A like. "Sorry... You're cute.... Not cute enough though." And boom they're turning their back and pulling MC away from the person and the situation. They're very flustered actually.

In short, please go easy on the ROs. They've never really fallen in love before.

I think I have some fluffy unsettling feelings that shouldn't be there for such a character, but slices of affection to us as a child? Plz- what is wrong with me and my mommy issues 😩 she fricking killed us just below this post i-

And, uh, sorry for barging with one more so soon, - I'm really intrigued for Scenario's 55 for The Queen and child!MC? :) It can be fluff with foreshadowing power dynamic (mc is tiny even for their age, let's say)

👀

Scenario, 55. Comparing hand sizes, then linking fingers together.

You're eight summers old when you're in The Queen's study. Sitting on the lush couch off to the side as she writes things you're not sure you understand.

You watch her as she scribbles with her quill. Her face shows no emotion, her hand quick at work.

"Mom," you squeak at her, your eyes watching as she stills.

She looks up at you, a smile blossoming over her face. "What is it dear?" she gently asks, placing her quill down on her desk.

"I'm bored." you pout, poking your bottom lip. You see her hide a snicker behind her hand. "Come here then," she waves you over, patting her knee. "Come sit in my lap."

You smile, quickly making your way over to her. Wobbling a little to the side as you rush to take place on her lap. She lifts you up, her hands cold under your arms as she settles you on her knee. "Better?" she asks you, her eyes shining.

You nod your head, eyeing the paper she was working on. You go to touch it, but she quickly grabs your hand, flipping it over so your palms are touching.

"Look at how tiny you are," she stage-whispers, looking at your hands. You stare at them too, seeing how yours is smaller than hers by a lot. Your fingers not even reaching hers yet. "You're just big," you laugh.

She laughs too, interlacing your fingers together; holding your hand tightly. "I am big, aren't I?" she bumps her shoulder into yours. "Remember, child, I will always be bigger, understand? No matter how old you may get, how tall you grow: I will always be the one by your side."

She squeezes your hand as she talks, and you wince at the pain. "Make sure to wear soft gloves, okay? Don't want you to freeze to death." She lets go of your hand, patting you on the head once before going back to work.

The next day, you wear gloves.

Thank you!!
