The road has a song all to its own. Press
your ear against my chest and you’ll hear
it. It is always with me, soaring across
mountaintops and sleeping in the gutter
where the small and forgotten gods live.
It tangles through my hair and sits heavy
in my boots. Some days that song roars
through my bones louder than any storm,
and other days it hums its tune so quietly
that I could forget it’s even there. But I will
always hold tight to it, and I’ll throw on my
cloak, grab my walking stick, and set foot
once more.
I trust the song. I trust the road. I trust
that someday, I will arrive at a town and
lay down in the grass and know that this is
where I was meant to be. The road is a river
that carries me home.

The road is a river that carries me home. I hold tight
to it as it sings within me, louder than any storm yet
calmer than any lullaby. Press your hands against mine,
and you can feel this. My home, heavy in my heart and
soft against my lips. Sometimes, when I feel the harsh
gales pushing against me, I can stare out at the thin and
tangled road ahead and forget what waits beyond.
But I trust the road. I trust the song. I trust
that someday, I’ll cuddle up in my bedding beneath a
canopy of trees, deep in the forest where the small and
forgotten gods dance, and know that above all else: we
are alive. Our care has a warmth all of its own.

I have discovered Wanderhome, and it has completely wrecked me. I bought it thinking it was just a cute animal adventure, and I was so quickly proven wrong. The way I read it, the whole game has a touch of sadness to it. The world is, mostly, filled with nice people who mean well and beautiful scenery to explore, but there's so much added to it that shows how these Kith live. It shows the sorrows and problems they go through, the histories that follow them.

The game has helped me reflect on a lot of the things I struggle with in a positive way. The character creation system is so simple but so meaningful in the few decisions you can make. From Gus, my old heron fisherman who misses his deceased wife and really wants to try ice fishing to my currently nameless shepherd who is going on a journey of self-realization, these characters all have a little bit of me baked into them, and they've been a great help.

Love this game, cried a few times over it. 10/10

Did some sketches for wanderhome NPC characters I'd make. The idea is they're train conductors, 2 sets of 2. There's one for the day, one for the night in each
