A Shield's Path: A Felix Hugo Fraldarius Visual Novel is a VN project exploring a post-canon (Azure Moon) setting centered on the titular character, Felix Fraldarius. Made over the span of two years, this fan project is our love letter to our favorite sword boy.

The Story Thus Far

You are Duke Felix Hugo Fraldarius. It is roughly a year after the war. Peace has been restored to Fódlan, but much has to be done still. One such thing is the First Annual Garreg Mach Trade Pageant, where a number of students from the graduating class of 1180 return to advocate for their people’s interests.

Felix has his own personal obligations to take care of as well, coming to lay to rest a matter long overdue.

But the remnants of unknown forces stir in the shadows. Soon, Felix will find that unearthed secrets are not so easily sent back to their graves...

This was wonderful! I'll try not to spoil with my comments, but I loved a certain Spooky Night Scene, and there was an early bad end I got in my first playthrough that had me rolling to imagine the awkward, tragic fallout if that had actually happened.
