"Trip leads to" is a VN I made for gameJam, and it's about trip on vacation that leads to many endings
You can meet with 4 characters during the trip ^-^)

A man with blush face saying "E-eh" Old couple with very humble looking clothes with old grandpa saying "bread..." Little girl with full energy face with narrator saying "You take a seat then give fork to little girl" Scene on a road with trees with narrator saying "You are back to driving, almost it's end of your vacation, you kinda feel somewhat melancholic and your thoughts goes to thinking:" And the choices are: - Love - Meaning - Peace - Clean

A skeleton squatting with heavy weights. It's wearing a "happy new year" party hat, blowing a golden party noise maker, and is covered in terrible meme text in various fonts. It reads: My body is a machine that turns my free time into CBF progress." This is a parody of the game developer of Catalyst: Blind Faith, who is physically disabled, yet gleefully carried the weight of her indie game through all of 2025 on top of the horrors. Work in progress, grayscale, hand drawn art for the dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. A loosely sketched woman with a dark cloak and fluffy hair lies on the ground, her face obscured by her hair as she looks at a a slender, heavily scarred young man. This priest of murder, the protagonist, is seen in third person perspective while his deity works through him. He's in an unnatural pose, leaning heavily to one side, which the dutch angle corrects so he appears to be kneeling perfectly upright. Motes of darkness and light drift around him. His hands are held in front of him, but loosely closed instead of in fists. He stares unblinking as light and darkness oozes from his eyes down his unemotional face. Flowchart for the heavily branching, dark fantasy and horror visual novel Catalyst: Blind Faith. The narrative structure is shown in significant detail for one of ten "hard branches" of the game, in which the player chooses to further their relationship with the God of Vengeance above nine other choices (seven other deities, or two party members). Extra emphasis is given to the volume of chapters, words, and endings written just this year, to uplift the end of year recap this image was made for. A few fun statistics are also present, to convey this dark hard branches tone: 17 fates worse than death, 19 unique endings, 4 villainous paths, and 1 chance to become a hero. Links are posted at the bottom for previews, devlogs, updates, and more regarding the development of Catalyst: Blind Faith at its itch.io page and community Discord.

The Last Winter Knight is a melancholy gothic visual novel where you'll haunt a suit of armour as the lost spirit of a knight. 👻

store.steampowered.com/app/2768420/The_Last_Winter_Knight/
"A painting hangs above the hearth, flaking and aged, its ornate frame tarnished with time." "You are a lost soul, drifted away from the Sunless Sea." Screenshot of a knight in front of a stone wall. "An intimidating face suits me." "I'd like to think I had a friendly face." "Would it be vain to wish that I was handsome?" "What I looked like doesn't matter. I'm dead."
