About

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.

I always enjoy the art and story-telling from ENDYSIS. The games are always like small pieces of art
endysis inanılmaz yetenekli bir çocuk sanatına, çizimlerine, yarattığı atmosfere bayıldım. websitesinden diğer çalışmalarına da bakabilirsiniz, yeni çıkaracağı iki oyunu varmış. sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum bana daha çok gotik romantik roman verin ltfn ltfn ltfn
Short but beautifully written and illustrated. I will come back and play it again in the future to try to get the other achievements. Absolutely worth the quick playthrough. I look forward to playing other games from them.

A short but touching character study of the pair (who come together and apart in various times and settings) from the dev's other games. Lovely art, melancholy writing. This setting in particular is linked directly to The Last Winter Knight setting. I played this one after that one, so it was like experiencing a prequel story. If you play this one before that one it might change or speed up how quickly you pick up on certain story beats in Winter Knight progression/solving. Not saying either order is better than the other, more so that one can make a decision which kind of experience they'd prefer to have.
Nice visual novel with romance as common thread. Short story, with tragic characters. It's ok
A wonderful story, just like the devs' other projects. Highly recommend playing this after reading "The Last Winter Knight", that's how I did it, and it made the whole experience so much richer. [spoiler] "Trail of Stars" is definitely a prequel about Tristan and Mirjam, and knowing how their story ends makes it hit SO much harder. Like, maximum emotional devastation [/spoiler].
Игра 'Trail of Stars' – это настоящее космическое приключение, которое захватывает с первых минут. Визуальное оформление просто поражает: туманности, далекие галактики и детально проработанные корабли создают невероятно атмосферный мир. Игровой процесс представляет собой увлекательное сочетание исследования, торговли и сражений. Путешествуя по процедурно генерируемым системам, всегда находишь что-то новое, будь то редкий ресурс или загадочная аномалия. Управление кораблем интуитивно понятное, а система прокачки позволяет создать уникальный звездолет под свой стиль игры. Сюжет, хоть и не самый оригинальный, держит в напряжении, а диалоги с NPC прописаны неплохо. Небольшие баги иногда встречаются, но они не портят общего впечатления. Если вы любите космос и готовы к долгому, увлекательному путешествию, то 'Trail of Stars' – отличный выбор.
Short and sweet. Great music direction
Атмосферная визуальная новелла в жанре тёмного фэнтези с элементами романтики и драмы. Сюжет сосредоточен на благородном лорде и двух оруженосцах — юноше с загадочным прошлым и бунтарке‑девушке. Игроку предстоит принимать решения, влияющие на судьбы героев, исследовать тему взросления и хрупкой любви в мире тайн и опасностей. Плюсы: Эстетика и атмосфера — рисованная графика в стиле сказочных иллюстраций и музыка с соло на виолончели создают проникновенное настроение; Нелинейность — выборы игрока определяют развитие отношений между персонажами и приводят к разным концовкам; Эмоциональная глубина — история затрагивает темы взросления, первой любви и морального выбора, вызывая отклик у игрока. Минусы: Короткая продолжительность — игра занимает всего 1–2 часа, что ограничивает погружение в мир; Ограниченная интерактивность — геймплей сводится к чтению и выбору вариантов, без дополнительных механик; Узкая тематика — акцент на романтических линиях и драме может не заинтересовать тех, кто ищет экшен или сложные головоломки. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам визуальных новелл, тёмного фэнтези и эмоциональных историй — впечатляет художественной эстетикой, трогательным сюжетом и значимостью решений. Может разочаровать из‑за краткости, отсутствия игровых вызовов и фокуса на романтике вместо приключений.
The writing, art, and music are superb, beautifully presented, captivating and charming. 10/10!
