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.

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.
