The Fernweh Saga: Book One is a 600,000-word interactive, romantic thriller novel by Aelsa Trevelyan. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Return to a small town that you now feel a stranger in. It has been years since you were sent away following the tragic house fire that claimed your parents’ lives, but the death of your grandfather has brought you back. While grim circumstances overshadow the visit you never planned on making, there are also opportunities to reminisce, reconnect, and reunite with old
childhood friends, rivals, and neighbors. Familiar faces are all around, but will they aid or hinder you as your return trip spirals into a dark mystery and you start experiencing vivid nightmares?
Begin to unravel what is going on in this seemingly idyllic, forested town.
A feeling of unease grows with each sleepless night spent within Fernweh’s borders, but you can’t leave yet…
It won’t let you.
Play as male, female, or non-binary–with options to be gay, straight, bi, asexual, or poly.
Develop the beginning of a unique and enduring romance with 5 potential love interests.
Influence relationship dynamics with a cast of characters from your past and present.
Experience how your personality, habits, decisions, and relationships impact your visit to Fernweh and how you confront what lurks within the town.
Discover that things aren’t always what they seem by making connections and noticing links.
Fight, resist, flee, struggle, or give in to whatever is invading your nightmares and the town; there is more to it than a boring ole monster…Much more.
Fall in love, forge friendships, and uncover your past while spiraling into a mystery!

Congratulations on the release, I’m looking forward to reading it after enjoying the demo a lot!
Just bought on Steam, but unfortunately, like the recent game “The Passenger”, the game doesn’t run. @jasonstevanhill, has CoG team found the issue with the latest titles that doesn’t run on Steam on Linux?
I’ve already tried the workarounds on that topic and reported this issue with “The Passenger”, but unfortunately it’s still present in this title and I can’t play the game on Steam.
This problem arose only with these last two games, if that could be helpful.
@hustlertwo Thank you! It’s been a labor of love to craft the story and its world; I hope everyone enjoys it.
@CreedH00d First, happy birthday! Thank you for the well wishes.
@Lambkin I’m sure S will be happy to sweep Marice off her feet as well, but the mysteries are nice too!
@Graviton Thank you for your support! I hope the issues with Steam on Linux get worked out; I don’t really have much technical expertise on Linux I can offer, but I hope that you can explore Fernweh soon.
Congratulations on the release @lacunafiction. Can’t wait to dive into the story! I probably have to avoid the discussion thread since it will be awhile before I finish.

@Scorporal I’m a little late, but that means you’re likely in town now, so that’s cool!
@Vyndral What I love about what you typed is that I can see: R possibly saying that too at times, hmm. I’m (mostly) kidding; thank you for being so enthusiastic about playing.
@resuri08 Thank you! I will be so happy when you get to enjoy more of R’s romance.
