Home for Wayward Travellers: Where Time Bends and Love Blooms
The worn oak door creaked open, revealing a figure bathed in the swirling mist of a time portal. My name’s Elara, and I’m the warden of the Home for Wayward Travellers – a haven for lost souls who’ve tumbled through the cracks of the space-time continuum. My days are an eclectic mix of mending temporal rifts caused by drunken Vikings mistaking portal loos for outhouses, calming down samurai warriors with a penchant for challenging houseplants to duels, and ensuring everyone, from futuristic cyborgs to Victorian courtesans, gets along.
Life here is far from ordinary. Every resident carries the baggage of a different era, a different world. Yet, underneath the surface, we share a common thread – a yearning for belonging, for connection in a world that no longer exists for them. My role extends far beyond simply maintaining the temporal fabric of the house. I’m a confidante, a mediator, and sometimes, even a friend (with benefits, for those who are open to the idea).
Lieutenant Aelius, a stoic Roman soldier with a surprising fondness for poetry, often seeks solace in my company after reliving the fall of his empire. His stoic facade cracks slightly during our late-night philosophical discussions, revealing a vulnerability that sets my heart aflutter. Then there’s Kaia, a fiery Polynesian princess from a pre-colonial era, whose untamed spirit and adventurous nature mirror my own. Our stolen moments together are laced with a delicious tension, a clash of cultures that somehow ignites a passionate spark.
But lately, a disquieting undercurrent has begun to flow through the house. Temporal anomalies are becoming more frequent, the fabric of reality thinning at the edges. It’s more than just drunken Vikings and malfunctioning portal loos. Someone, or something, is manipulating the time streams, and the consequences could be catastrophic.
Home for Wayward Travellers offers a unique blend of romance, adventure, and a dash of temporal chaos. Will you help me unravel the mystery behind the intensifying anomalies? Will you find love, or perhaps something more, amongst the captivating residents of this unconventional home? One thing’s for sure – your stay at the Home for Wayward Travellers will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Step through the portal and discover your own extraordinary adventure.

v0.2
Movement system:
The movement system has had a UI overhaul to make the system easier to use, non applicable directions are now greyed out and unclickable and hovering over a direction now tells you exactly where it will take you.
It should also be noted that if you wish to turn around in the rear hall you can do so by entering and then leaving the room on the right (bathroom or mc’s room) then leaving, this will drop you at the other end of the hall. I will watch for feedback on the update and possibly do an overhaul of the entire system in the future if needed.
New quest type, Random event:
These are events that don’t appear in the quest log and will trigger randomly once certain triggers are met. There are currently three in game. This may require a new save to function correctly, I apologise for any inconvenience and shall attempt to avoid the need for new saves in the future.
Quest Log outfits:
The first of the unlockable outfits in the quest log is now implemented and can be unlocked via one of the random quests. Once unlocked the outfit can be changed with the numbers below the character portrait.
Bonus gallery:
Added a gallery for bonus images that are unlocked by certain quests. Unfortunately it is currently bugged and won’t unlock the images, I shall be continuing to work on this in future updates.
New location:
The upstairs of the house is now implemented and fully traversable, it can be accessed by moving forward when in the rear hall facing the stairs up. (downstairs should be added in the next build.)
Character Quests:
Each main character has 4 new quests with the exception of Yumi who has three as she had one extra in the first build making for 23 new character quests.

Developer Notes
Developer: Aegis – Patreon
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. All lesbian content is entirely aviodable and 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.
