MEET THE CAST

There are up to eight romances to choose from in In The Ocean of Stars, all of which are part of the crew of the Cheyenne. This story will feature sexually explicit scenes, with the option to have a more asexual route/non-explicit scenes if you so wish.

Most of if not ALL of these romance routes will be a bit of a slowburn. This story is a work in progress, and I expect it to be incredibly wrong by the time it is done. 

But enough pomp and circumstance! Let’s get to it-

don't mind me, just screaming for the fact that it's started the whole fanon of PomPom revenant. The majestic creature by the talented cute blob 👌😔💞

Revenant : So, what is the noble name you shall give me?

MC : your name shall be.........

MC : PomPom. :D

-blob-

Blob, this is beautiful! I’m so happy! Thank you so much!!!!! The way you drew him is so cute! I love PomPom! I don’t know how to show you how grateful I am you made this - thank you!!!!! 🥺❤❤❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖💖😊😊😊

THAT. That is goddamn good to have such freedom!! And this is a realistic approach too...ofc with time the forgiveness can be brought up, but to switch on it so fast for the ++ in relationship stat? Mehhh. THANK YOU FOR NOT PUNISHING US ANGSTERMANCES😩❤️❤️

In relation to your last ask; I’m a big believer that you do not have to forgive a person just because you love them, so I’m glad that isn’t going to lock one out of a romance with C. Sure, it’ll be “angsty” compared to forgiveness but that shouldn’t be required of a person who was hurt just because they love someone, and I’m excited to explore that detail more in your game personally

Yes yes yes! Everything you've just said is exactly how I feel about it Anon. I'm so glad you're resonating with this. In my experience, not everyone deserves forgiveness and not everything can be forgiven. That doesn't mean you love that person any less, but it means they hurt you in a way you can't forgive. It'll make some scenes more angsty but in the end, it's up to the player how they deal with it all! I never wanted to take that choice away from yall because I hate when I get railroaded into a certain 'good' path in romances even if its OOC for my MC.

So total freedom in all the romances (I mean, as much as coding and the workload will allow me but mostly as much as possible). This game will definitely be a place to explore darker themes and unhealthy sides of love too (not necessarily in C's route). I'm just so excited to let you guys loose in Ferngrove and do as you please.

reads the Rock, Paper, Scissors reblog - yeets back into the demo cuz I'm a Hufflepuff and I need to see this-

Hi Anon 💛 ,

I hope you're doing well. :D

Lol, yes! I'm glad you want to see the variation. I hoped some of you would be like: 'wait, who won???' across the versions, since it will vary across JRmancers and seem a little random.

I am adding a read more/cut to this ask. I am going to tell you the variable/choice that brings about the win/loss/tie, if you want to be certain you read that variation. Not trying to spoil, but just a heads up so you aren't wondering how to get it.

Best wishes! :D

Tie (both of them do scissors) if your MC feels uncertain or likely about attending the memorium.

J wins (rock beats scissors) if your MC feels committed about attending the memorium.

R wins (paper beats rock) if you MC wants to decline attending the memorium.

The memorium feeling choice is set in Chapter 2 in the car ride with R.

I won't say too much more about the specifics, but how J and R reacts to the other winning is...important. ;-) Lots of implications.

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.

all of my genshin paintings in one post! because why not!

In a world similar to ours where magic is known to exist, but not particularly common, humans live together in large cities away from the dangers of the earth-bound spirits in the wilds beyond. Conjurers like you are able to commune with the spirits that live in the Otherworld, a world filled with dangerous spirits that is separated from your own world by the Veil. Spirits slip through the Veil occasionally, or they can be brought over via demonic contracts with conjurers. Both of these scenarios terrify ordinary humans who find solace in a prophecy that promises a chosen one who will strengthen the Veil, permanently sealing all spirits and magic away in the Otherworld forever.

This project is being worked on alongside ‘Dead Men’s Tales’ (a Victorian low fantasy) on deadmenstales-if.
