Wanderstop

Wanderstop is a production combining elements of adventure games and life simulators, in which we run our own tea shop. The game was developed by Ivy Road - an independent studio founded by Davey Wreden (author of The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide), Karla Zimonja (co-creator of Gone Home and Tacoma) and Daniel Rosenfeld (music composer for Minecraft).

Plot

Wanderstop takes us on a journey to a fantasy land. The main character of the game is a warrior named Alta, who, instead of throwing herself into adventure or seeking glory in the arena, must settle in a magical forest and run a teashop. Although the protagonist is not satisfied with what fate has dealt her, she gradually discovers that a quiet life also has its charm.

Gameplay

In Wanderstop we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). During the game our main focus is the tea shop, the running of which requires us not only to operate a magical tea-brewing device, but also to cultivate the land and collect various ingredients necessary to brew tasty drinks. Of course, we are not doing this for ourselves - our place is visited by both travelers who are just passing by, and local residents. Each of the guests has their own story to tell and is willing to share it in exchange for a cup of the right tea.

It doesn't end there, because Alta can also spend time cleaning the clearing and decorating the teashop, exploring the picturesque world, and finally helping other characters solve the problems that bother them. When she doesn't feel like doing anything, she can simply sit on a bench with a cup of hot drink in their hands and... not do anything specific.

Graphics

The graphic design of Wanderstop is maintained in a cartoon style.
