Farewell, Wanderlust
A downloadable VN for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
This Visual Novel contains slurs, discussions of homophobia and depression, and sexually explicit homosexual scenes and imagery. Please do not read this VN if you aren't 18 or older.
"If you could go anywhere, where would it be?"
"Somewhere that isn't here."
No matter what you try, you can't stop thinking about that memory. After years of living in your hometown, you decide to go on a journey. What kind of journey? You don't exactly know, but that's the point.
Farewell, Wanderlust is a VN created for MAY WOLF 2025. This is a story that's supposed to evoke bittersweet nostalgia as well as speak to those who currently feel lost in life. Whatever happens, just keep walking. Currently, this project has several unfinished art assets, as I wasn't able to complete them all in the time frame I was given. Please understand.
Art, coding, and idea by me, script written by Crescent, editing done by MimberyEarth, a few songs done by Emma/BRKN HVN, and music assistance done by Cadmium.

Chellay, my trucker buddy in crime! I am so jealous of how beautiful your story is. It beautifully captured the soul of a young wolf leaving home due to not being accepted, only to be swept up by the compassionate bara gay wolf trucker, very similarly to mine. Guess it's a good theme, if we both came up with it! Hehehe.
The first half was very rich in the internal dialogue, and I loved the way he reflects upon his past leading into the present. Cassidy is very freaking hot and a compelling character in his own right. Kudos on having the courage to make such a long and spicy 'H scene', and the shower setting was definitely appreciated... uwu
The questioning of religion at the end really hit home for me, and the whole story made me tear up at the end. Overall it was a wonderful piece, but I do want to say it was perhaps a little too ambitious. The flashback at the start, the meetup escalating, the original songs and prose, they all felt like they could have been novels on their own. The artwork was obviously fantastic as well throughout, and while it is disappointing to not have the artwork fully finished, I am still very very appreciative of its existence. It's clear that Farewell Wanderlust had such an overwhelming amount of love put into it though, so thank you for the awesome story.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did! I really liked your VN as well! It's kinda funny we both had a daddy trucker in our VNs. Guess great minds think alike. Or something. It's unfortunate that I wasn't able to finish the art but I did my best! There was a big vision for this project and it shows. The team and I had a lot of passion for this VN and I'm grateful for all the support it's gotten.
I just found out that my VN, Farewell, Wanderlust, has been read by a YouTuber! His name is Caolan. Go and check it out if you enjoy listening to VN readings!
i cry so hard TT
That monologue hit hard honestly, you got a tear out of me.
The ending monologue was so touching I almost cried. Thank you so much for creating masterpieves, Chellay!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing game, wish we could have an update where they meet again and end up together ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! And who knows where these two wolves are headed?
