Home for Wayward Travellers

Home for Wayward Travellers is a visual novel game for adult players. Featuring beautiful graphics and blending simulation and role-playing elements, it offers a captivating gaming experience. In Home for Wayward Travellers, players take on the role of a shelter manager, sheltering people lost in time and space. Your mission is to ensure the happiness of your residents, build deep friendships with them, and prevent time rifts from accidentally tearing open. Furthermore, you can use collected time energy to redesign the layout of your homes, further increasing the residents' happiness.

Gameplay:

Sanctuary Management Simulation: Oversee the daily operations of the home, from allocating resources and upgrading facilities to scheduling activities that maintain residents' morale. A dynamic needs system requires balancing comfort with security, as neglected travellers may trigger unpredictable temporal events.

Temporal Anomaly Resolution: Investigate and contain reality-warping incidents caused by residents' unintended interactions with time. Mini-games involve puzzle-solving to stabilize rifts, while a "Temporal Integrity Meter" tracks global stability—failure risks cascading paradoxes.

Relationship-Building Mechanics: Engage in dialogue trees and personalized quests to understand each traveller's backstory. Your choices influence their emotional state and loyalty, unlocking cooperative abilities for anomaly crises or romantic subplots that alter narrative outcomes.

Deep Character Arcs: Encounter travellers from diverse eras—a Victorian inventor, a futuristic soldier, or a prehistoric shaman—each with unique quests and hidden trauma. Their personal growth, shaped by your actions, can lead to redemption, departure, or tragic consequences.

Changelog:

22 new quests

Locked all hands to meeting to after Amy is injured to prevent her being referenced as in the tank before she actually is.

Fixed yumi’s quest failing to continue after her first kiss if you were on the non lesbian route. A big issue that went unnoticed far too long, so I apologise about that. Guess it goes to show how few people play the non-lesbian route.

Fixed Abby’s interaction at the start of the pool event having Amy’s name on the text box instead of hers.

Fixed some grammatical errors in the pool event.

fixed some errors with the lab quests.

Developer Notes:

A couple of Things to note. First, This is my first game, and first time attempting anything like this, that includes coding rendering and writing. Second. when in free roam and saves made will load at the beginning of the free roam section, I currently don’t know how to change this but no actual progress is lost.

Third. in the future this game will contain girl on girl content, this is unaviodable in group scenes that include the mc. there will also be some with out the mc though these are entirely optional. -there are no interaction between love interests and other men. Finally. This first build contains no sexual content, if that is all you’re after i recomend waiting until the second or third build.

Conclusion:

The Home for Wayward Travellers app offers a fun and challenging experience for users. Becoming the caretaker of a home for "stubborn" travelers requires users to look after, protect, and resolve unusual and dangerous situations within the house. However, building friendships and making discoveries adds to the app's appeal and enjoyment.
